Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide detailed chemical purity certificates and SDS to verify it meets Chapter 29 criteria for chemically defined compounds

• Ensure proper UN packaging for flammable liquids (Class 3) and include safety data for transport

• Avoid misclassification as mixtures; confirm single isomer content to prevent reclassification to Chapter 38
