Import Tips
• Include GC-MS analysis confirming acetate ester structure and absence of glycol ethers
• Ship as non-bulk preferred; bulk liquid acetate esters require Coast Guard approval for vessel transport
• Watch for reclassification if marketed as 'glycol solvent'; pure chemical identity governs HTS 2915 placement
