Import Tips
• Provide detailed chemical analysis certificates confirming 99%+ purity and para isomer content to avoid reclassification
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) documenting hazards (toxic, irritant) for proper hazmat shipping compliance
• Verify packaging meets UN standards for toxic solids; common pitfall is insufficient stabilization against decomposition
