Import Tips
• Provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and purity certificates to verify classification under Chapter 29 as a chemically defined epoxide
• Ensure drums are UN-approved for corrosive liquids (UN 2023) with proper Hazard Class 6.1 labeling
• Avoid misclassification as mixtures; single-compound shipments must have assay >98% purity documentation
