Import Tips
• Include structural formula and alkyl chain length specification to distinguish from monoethyl/butyl ethers
• Check for anti-dusting agents; additions for safety may still qualify under note 2(g) if not use-specific
• Avoid classifying as 'parts' of formulations - pure compound status requires lab assay certificates
