Import Tips
• Provide chromatogram data showing combined dinonyl/didecyl content ≥90% to qualify for specific 2917.33.0050 classification
• Declare exact isomer ratios on commercial invoice; variations may trigger 2917.39 reclassification by customs chemists
• Ensure DOT/UN proper shipping names match 'aromatic ester plasticizer' to avoid hazmat surcharges
