Import Tips

• Verify purity and ensure product meets chemical definition as TBBA without additional functional groups to avoid reclassification under other Chapter 29 headings

• Provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and TSCA certification, as TBBA is regulated under EPA for chemical import notifications

• Watch for REACH compliance documentation if sourced from EU, and avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as a mixture which shifts to heading 3824
