Import Tips
• Provide detailed chemical composition certificates and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) compliant with TSCA for US customs clearance
• Verify purity levels (>98%) as impurities may trigger reclassification under general 'other' subheadings
• Ensure proper UN-approved packaging for corrosive solids to avoid hazmat surcharges or delays
