Import Tips

Submit stabilizer concentration analysis; levels >500 ppm may trigger Chapter 38 mixture classification

Use UN-approved drums/ISO tanks with proper Inhibitor Certificate for CBP verification

Avoid 'paint intermediate' descriptions; emphasize chemical intermediate use to maintain Chapter 29 status
