Import Tips

• Brominated compounds require additional REACH-like documentation for persistence/bioaccumulation under TSCA

• Verify 'only halogen' status; bromination catalysts may leave metallic impurities requiring 2931 classification

• Technical grade imports common; ensure bulk packaging doesn't qualify as 'retail packing' under Note 2(g)
