Import Tips
• Verify purity certificate (COA) from supplier to confirm classification under 2914.11.5000 vs higher-purity pharmaceutical grades; impurities >0.5% keep it here
• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) showing it's pure acetone without added stabilizers that could shift to 2914.11.10.00 or mixtures in Chapter 38
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 'nail polish remover' - declare as chemical intermediate to prevent reclassification as consumer retail product
