Import Tips
• Include stabilization agent details (if any) to confirm compliance with Chapter 29 note (f); excess additives trigger mixture classification
• Segregate from oxidizers in transport; citral's reactivity requires UN proper shipping name 'Aldehydes, n.o.s.',CBP may request end-use verification; specify 'odoriferous compound' to avoid industrial chemical duties
