Import Tips

Include NMR or GC-MS spectra confirming structure as butylene oxide isomer to prevent misclassification as generic epoxides

Use child-resistant packaging and include GHS labels for epoxide reactivity and flammability risks

Avoid importing stabilized mixtures without verifying if stabilizers trigger classification under note (f) as preserved products
