Import Tips

Verify chemical purity via Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm it matches the exact named compound and meets Chapter 29 chemical definition requirements

Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and ensure proper hazardous material labeling under DOT regulations for sulfonic acid compounds during import

Avoid misclassification by confirming it's not a sulfonated derivative better suited for earlier Chapter 29 headings; consult CBP for rulings
