Import Tips
• Distinguish from specific ethyl ester subheading; 'other' covers non-methyl esters not separately provided for
• Hazardous material declaration required (UN 2430); ensure proper DOT/IMDG shipping papers accompany tariff docs
• Purity >98% typically qualifies as chemically defined compound; technical grade mixtures risk 3824 classification
