Import Tips

• Provide detailed chemical analysis (GC-MS, NMR) confirming 99%+ purity as ethyl acrylate to avoid reclassification as mixtures under Chapter 38

• Include stabilizer certificates (e.g

• hydroquinone <100 ppm) as Chapter 29 note (f) allows this for transport safety

• Declare exact CAS number (140-88-5) and ensure UN1992 packaging compliance to prevent DOT delays
