Import Tips
• Verify chemical purity and CAS number (115-96-8) on SDS for accurate classification as halogenated phosphoric ester plasticizer
• Include REACH/SVHC declarations if from EU sources due to TCEP's candidate list status to avoid customs delays
• Ensure packaging complies with DOT hazmat regulations for chlorinated compounds during transport
