Import Tips

Include NMR or GC-MS analysis to confirm aromatic ketone structure avoiding phenol-only classification

Declare as pure compound; mixtures with solvents may fall under note (e) but require transport justification

Check for anti-dusting agents; additions must not render suitable for specific use per Chapter 29(g)
