Import Tips
• Ensure proper hazardous materials documentation (UN 3102) and temperature-controlled shipping below 25°C to maintain stability
• Include Certificate of Analysis verifying mCPBA content and peracid stabilizer levels for customs chemical classification
• Avoid common pitfalls like improper labeling as oxidizer (Class 5.1) which can delay clearance
