Import Tips
• TSCA pre-manufacture notification often required; maintain 90-day review documentation
• Stabilizer (e.g
• thionyl chloride) content must be declared; excess may shift to mixtures classification
• Inhibited packaging mandatory due to hydrolysis risk; include batch stability test results
