Import Tips
• Include concentration certificate confirming ≤50% solution qualifies under Chapter 29 note (d) water dissolution provision
• Use UN-approved packaging for corrosive liquid; declare as 'malic acid solution' not generic chemical mixture
• Avoid stabilizers that render solution suitable for specific use beyond transport/safety per note (e)
