Import Tips

• Provide detailed chemical composition certificates and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) as required for chemical imports under TSCA regulations

• Verify purity levels (>95%) to avoid reclassification into non-flavoring aldehyde categories; common pitfall is insufficient flavoring end-use documentation

• Label containers with UN numbers if hazardous and ensure proper DOT compliance for transport
