Import Tips

• Submit NMR or HPLC analysis verifying the exact isomer structure, as chapter note (b) excludes certain isomer mixtures

• Confirm absence of halogen or nitro groups through testing to maintain classification in the 'sulfo groups only' subheading

• Declare CAS number (specifically 581-86-2) and molecular formula on commercial invoice for accurate HTS verification
