Import Tips
• Include salt formation documentation and counterion analysis; sodium salts follow parent acid classification under Chapter 29 note 3(C)
• EPA may require pesticide registration if agricultural end-use; separate from tariff classification but affects import clearance
• Specify crystal form vs solution; aqueous solutions may classify under 2915.40.4000 if meeting Chapter note (d) criteria
