Import Tips

• Verify purity certificate to confirm it meets 'separate chemically defined organic compound' criteria under Chapter 29, avoiding reclassification as mixtures

• Include Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) showing non-hazardous transport conditions; common pitfall is improper hazmat declaration

• Label with exact chemical name and CAS number (141-53-7) for CBP inspection compliance
