Import Tips
• Submit esterification verification through NMR or GC-MS analysis to distinguish from free trichloroacetic acid (2915.40.10)
• Label with CAS 598-99-2 and flash point data; esters pose flammability risks requiring specific hazmat declarations
• Avoid bulk packaging over 100kg without stabilizer declaration, as peroxides may form during storage
