Import Tips

Provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming chemical purity and structure to verify classification under Chapter 29 note (a)

Ensure proper Hazard Communication labeling (UN 2811) and SDS documentation for DOT/IATA transport compliance

Avoid misclassification as salicylic acid (ortho isomer, 2918.21); specify meta position in documentation
