Import Tips
• Submit GC-MS analysis verifying butyl acrylate absence, as 2-EHA falls under 'other' but must distinguish from n-butyl acrylate
• Declare exact stabilizer concentration (typically 10-15 ppm MEHQ) to comply with Chapter 29 note (f) preservation allowances
• Use stainless steel IBCs with nitrogen blanketing; document to prevent polymerization during ocean transit
