Import Tips
• Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, IR spectra) to confirm nitro group position and purity, as misclassification as isomer mixtures can occur
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and transport certificates, noting its classification as UN 2668 hazardous material
• Verify absence of sulfonation or halogenation to avoid reclassification under earlier 2908 subheadings
