Import Tips

• Verify chemical purity and provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm it meets 'other' aromatic polyamine derivative criteria under Chapter 29 notes

• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) detailing toxicity (known carcinogen) for CBP review and compliance with TSCA import requirements

• Avoid misclassification as a simple diamine; ensure documentation specifies polyamine structure to prevent reclassification to 2921.51
