Import Tips
• Submit structural formula and CAS number (52214-84-5) confirming classification within ether-alcohol-phenol scope
• Verify solvent content <5%; solutions exceeding transport/stabilizer limits per Chapter Note 6(e) reclassify as mixtures
• Avoid bulk packaging without stabilizers; unprotected shipments risk polymerization and customs rejection
