Import Tips

Provide detailed chemical purity analysis and CAS number (80-62-6) documentation to confirm classification as pure MMA monomer

Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) showing stabilizer content does not exceed transport/preservation limits per Chapter 29 note (f)

Verify inhibitor/stabilizer levels; excessive additives may shift classification to mixtures under 3824 if not 'necessary for transport'
