Import Tips
• Document stabilizer type/concentration (<15% methanol typical); must prove necessary for preservation per note (f)
• Methanol content declaration prevents misclassification as Chapter 29 alcohol mixtures
• Bulk imports require tank certification; avoid retail packaging that might trigger Chapter 38
