Import Tips
• Provide detailed impurity analysis (<0.1% monomethyl terephthalate) to confirm classification as pure DMT
• Comply with REACH pre-registration if transshipping through EU; include SDS for hazard communication
• Avoid bulk packaging over 1000kg without anti-caking stabilizers to prevent classification as mixtures
