Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify chemical purity and provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm it matches the protonated salt specification

• Ensure DEA compliance if precursor potential exists; include safety data sheets for hazmat shipping

• Avoid misclassification as general acyclic amines by highlighting the specific 2-chloroethyl structure
