Import Tips
• Verify certificate of analysis confirming aromatic hydrocarbon derivation to meet HTS 2917.14.10.00 specificity
• Ensure proper UN packaging (Group II corrosive) and include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
• Avoid misclassification as petroleum-derived (2917.14.20.00) which has different duty rates
