Import Tips
• Include end-use statement if for cosmetics to preempt TSCA import requirements; hair dye precursors need premanufacture notice
• Package in amber glass/HDPE drums ≤25kg to maintain stability; light-sensitive compound degrades in clear containers
• Avoid bulk import without stabilizer; unstabilized material may be deemed unsafe transport per chapter note 1(f)
