Import Tips
• Document stabilizer <0.1% and confirm it doesn't create 'specific use' suitability per chapter note (g)
• Validate stabilizer type (BHT/MEHQ) doesn't introduce aromatic functions changing classification
• Monitor autoignition temperature (210°C); temperature-controlled shipping prevents decomposition claims
