Import Tips
• Declare exact isomer (n-butyl vs iso-butyl) with analytical certificates to avoid reclassification
• Use stainless steel containers; incompatible packaging causes polymerization and denial of entry
• Monitor stabilizer levels; insufficient MEHQ content violates DOT transport regulations
