Import Tips & Compliance

Verify chemical purity and provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm it matches the exact compound listed in the HTS description

Ensure packaging complies with DOT/UN hazardous material regulations as it may be classified as corrosive due to sulfonic acid groups

Avoid misclassification as a dye intermediate under Chapter 32; include lab test results showing it's a separate chemical compound
