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)
