Import Tips
• Label with exact CAS 79-94-7 and chemical name per 49 CFR hazardous materials regulations for DOT compliance
• Screen for Proposition 65 warnings if California-bound, as brominated compounds may trigger chemical listing
• Document stabilizer content <1% to stay within Chapter 29 note (f) for added preservatives
