Import Tips

• Verify purity and chemical identity via Certificate of Analysis to confirm classification as chemically defined ether-phenol under Chapter 29 note (a)

• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) documenting odoriferous use to distinguish from medicinal applications potentially reclassified elsewhere

• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no added solvents render it suitable for specific non-general use per Chapter 29 note (e)
