Import Tips & Compliance

Submit spectroscopic data (NMR/IR) verifying monoethanolamine structure to distinguish from other amino-alcohol salts

Ensure packaging meets UN hazardous material standards for corrosive liquids/solids

Avoid reclassification by confirming no added anti-dusting agents rendering it specific-use per Chapter 29 note (g)
