Import Tips
• Document stabilizer as <1% by weight and solely for transport stability to maintain Chapter 29 classification
• Include heat stability test data showing performance equivalent to pure DOP; excessive additives trigger 3824 mixture classification
• Ensure bulk containers have nitrogen blanketing certification to prevent oxidation during ocean transit
