Import Tips
• Provide ester confirmation via Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and molecular formula C3H3Cl3O2 to validate 2915.40.3000 classification
• Declare as 'methyl ester of trichloroacetic acid' specifically; generic 'organic ester' description risks reclassification
• Check for stabilizer additions that might shift to 2915.40.5000 if exceeding Chapter 29 note limits for transport additives
