Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify inclusion in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI and obtain necessary quota licenses from U.S
• Census Bureau before import
• Provide detailed chemical purity certificates and CAS number (95-53-4) documentation to confirm classification as pure o-toluidine
• Avoid misclassification as mixtures; ensure product meets 'separate chemically defined compound' criteria per chapter 29 note 1(a)
