Import Tips
• Specify enantiomeric excess (%ee) if chiral; racemic mixtures need different documentation than enantiopure
• Phenyl-substituted monomers may trigger additional FDA notifications for indirect food contact
• Boiling point (248°C) and flash point data mandatory for DOT hazardous material classification
