Import Tips
• Verify purity levels and provide certificate of analysis (COA) to confirm classification as chemically defined compound per Chapter 29 notes
• Ensure proper hazardous material documentation (UN 1247) for transport as flammable liquid; include stabilizer content details
• Avoid misclassification as polymer by confirming <99% polymerization; test samples if bulk shipments vary
