Import Tips

• Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, IR spectra) to confirm it's a naphthylamine derivative under Chapter 29 note (a)

• Ensure COA verifies purity >98% as impurities may affect classification; declare exact CAS number (84-86-6)

• Avoid misclassification as sulfonated dyes (Chapter 32); include lab reports showing amine-function dominance
