Import Tips

Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, GC-MS) to confirm identity and purity as per chapter note (a) for separate chemically defined compounds

Ensure SDS and handling instructions accompany shipments due to reactivity of keto-esters; verify no added solvents render it for specific use per note (e)

Avoid misclassification as mixtures; single isomer purity must be documented to prevent reclassification under chapter 27 hydrocarbons
