Import Tips

• Verify purity certificate (technical grade vs pharmaceutical) to confirm classification under 2915.40.3000; cosmetic grade may require additional documentation

• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) showing chemical structure confirming trichloroacetic acid derivative status and aromatic classification

• Avoid misclassification as general organic chemicals (2915.90); specify 'aromatic other' in commercial invoice to prevent delays
