Import Tips

• Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, MS) and CoA to confirm identity as the exact named compound, avoiding misclassification

• Ensure packaging complies with UN/DOT hazardous material regs if shipped in quantities >1kg due to potential irritant properties

• Declare purity level (>98%) on commercial invoice; impurities may trigger reclassification under 'other' aromatic acids
