Import Tips

• Provide Certificate of Analysis confirming purity >99% as it's a chemically defined compound per Chapter 29 note (a)

• Ensure proper labeling with CAS number 124-04-9 and UN number for adipic acid to avoid transportation delays

• Verify not mixed with impurities exceeding 1% to prevent reclassification under mixtures
