Import Tips
• HPLC chromatogram required to confirm isobutyl vs n-butyl isomer ratio for correct 'other esters' statistical reporting
• Inhibit with 25 ppm phenothiazine for long-term storage; declare on commercial invoice
• Segregate from amines and oxidizing agents in containers to prevent unwanted reactions
