Import Tips
• Classify based on predominant aromatic peroxide structure; provide NMR/GC certificates confirming chemical identity
• Use temperature-controlled shipping containers as peroxides decompose above 30°C; declare self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT)
• Check for anti-dusting agents; additions per Chapter 29 note (g) allowed only if not rendering product for specific use
