Import Tips
• Verify chemical purity and provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm it matches the exact specification of diethylammonium perfluorooctane sulfonate
• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and ensure compliance with TSCA regulations due to PFAS restrictions
• Avoid misclassification as a mixture; ship as pure compound to prevent reclassification under Chapter 38
