Import Tips
• Provide salt formation documentation and molecular structure to distinguish from base compound under Chapter 29 salt rules
• Ensure proper labeling of CAS number (51-78-5 for base) and concentration to avoid reclassification as a mixture
• Check for anti-dumping duties on specific amino-phenol salts; declare country of origin accurately
