Import Tips
• Provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and ensure UN-approved packaging for corrosive liquids during import
• Verify purity certificates to confirm classification as chemically defined compound under Chapter 29
• Avoid misclassification as mixtures; acid chlorides must be separate compounds per chapter notes
