Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Declare photoinitiator end-use; may qualify for temporary duty relief programs

β€’ Include polymerization inhibitor percentage; >0.1% active monomer triggers hazardous classification

β€’ Verify aromatic content >50% by weight for potential Chapter 29 benzenoid preference
