Import Tips
• Provide detailed chemical composition certificates confirming ≥99% purity as butyl acrylate to avoid reclassification as mixtures under Chapter 38
• Include stabilizer documentation (e.g
• hydroquinone levels) as permitted additives under Chapter 29 note (f) for transport safety
• Ensure DOT/UN proper shipping name 'Butyl acrylate, stabilized' on MSDS and packaging to comply with hazmat regulations for UN 2222
