Import Tips
• Certificate of Analysis must specify polymerization inhibitor type/concentration to validate Chapter 29 classification over Chapter 38 mixtures
• Refrigerated container shipping required (15-25°C); temperature data loggers mandatory for claims
• Avoid steel drums without lining; butyl acrylate attacks unprotected carbon steel causing contamination
