Import Tips
• Include GC/MS or NMR analysis confirming >90% purity and meta isomer identity to prevent reclassification
• Declare exact purity percentage; technical grades below pharmaceutical specs may trigger lower duty scrutiny
• Package in UN-approved fiber drums (25-50kg) with desiccant to prevent moisture absorption during transit
