Import Tips
• Verify purity certificate (≥98%) and provide chemical analysis to confirm it's a triethanolamine salt per chapter 29 note 1(C)(1)
• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and CAS number (637-57-0) for CBP classification; avoid misfiling under inorganic salts (Chapter 28)
• Label containers with UN number (NA 3077) for transport; common pitfall is improper stabilizer declaration rendering it non-general use
