Import Tips
• Submit chromatograms proving disulfonic structure to distinguish from mono-sulfonic analogs in the same HTS
• Package in moisture-proof containers; hygroscopic nature requires specific declaration for stability claims
• Avoid anti-dusting agents that impart color, as per note 1(g), to maintain pure chemical classification
