Import Tips

Include detailed spectral analysis (NMR/IR) in documentation to confirm structure and avoid reclassification

Comply with TSCA pre-manufacture notice if first import into US; pitfall is ignoring EPA inventory status

Use UN-approved packaging for corrosive solids; declare as UN 3261 to prevent delays
