Import Tips
• Include stability data showing no added stabilizers beyond Chapter 29 note (f) allowances to maintain pure compound status
• Use UN-approved drums for transport; declare flash point (52°C) for proper hazmat shipping documentation
• Verify importer's chemical registration under TSCA; common pitfall is failing to provide SDS in English
