Import Tips
• Document stabilizer composition (<1%) and safety transport purpose to qualify under Chapter 29 note (f)
• Use 200L UN-approved plastic drums for flakes; avoid glass to prevent breakage in transit
• Verify no 'specific use' additives per note (g) that would shift to Chapter 38 classification
