Import Tips

• Provide detailed chemical purity certificates and CAS number (75-07-0) documentation to verify classification as a pure acyclic aldehyde

• Ensure proper Hazard Class 3 (flammable liquid) labeling and UN 2832 shipping papers for safe transport

• Avoid misclassification as mixtures; confirm no added stabilizers render it for specific use per Chapter 29 note (g)
