Import Tips
• Confirm ethoxy ether-phenol structure via structural formula on SDS to support 2909 classification over aldehyde headings
• Document food-grade specifications (FCC/USP) to preempt medicinal reclassification under Chapter 30
• Ensure packaging meets Chapter 29 note (e) solvent criteria if dissolved for transport
