Import Tips
• Provide Certificates of Analysis (CoA) confirming chemical identity and purity to avoid misclassification as mixtures
• Ensure SDS and proper UN packaging for Hazard Class 8 (corrosive) during transport
• Verify isomer-specific assays as mixtures of similar acids may trigger different statistical suffixes
