Import Tips
• Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, GC-MS) confirming aromatic substitution and acrylic unsaturation to verify classification
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and purity certificates; aromatic acrylates often require REACH/ TSCA pre-registration
• Declare exact isomer purity as mixtures may shift to different subheadings; avoid common pitfall of under-declaring stabilizer content
