Import Tips
• Label with GHS hazard pictograms (acute toxicity, skin corrosion) to meet DOT/IMDG transport regs for phenolic amines
• Provide CoA showing <0.1% nitro impurities to prevent reclassification under nitrated derivatives (chapter note)
• For solutions in water, ensure concentration <50% w/v as normal transport form per note (d); higher may imply specific use
