Import Tips

• Provide Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming purity >99% and identity as 2-Ethyl-1-hexyl acrylate to avoid reclassification

• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) detailing flash point and polymerization inhibitors; declare as UN3082 Environmentally Hazardous Substance if shipping in bulk

• Verify inhibitor content (e.g

• MEHQ) meets stability requirements; common pitfall is misdeclaring as general acrylic ester under broader 2916.12.5000
