Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit structural formula and synthesis route documentation to confirm ketone priority over nitro function
• Check for light-sensitive stabilizers; chapter note (f) allows if solely for preservation
• Ensure not misdeclared as pesticide intermediate (may require EPA registration)
