Import Tips
• Provide Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming trichloroacetate content and purity to verify classification under 2915.40.50
• Ensure SDS includes CAS number 650-51-1 and classifies as organochlorine compound to avoid misclassification as inorganic salt
• Declare exact chlorine substitution level; incomplete documentation may lead to reclassification under general organic chemicals
