Import Tips

Provide isomer-specific documentation to distinguish from p-aminophenol, as both fall under the same subheading but require accurate naming for customs

Ensure packaging complies with DOT/UN hazardous material regs for phenols, including proper labeling for phenolic compounds

Test for impurities; if exceeding thresholds, it may not qualify as 'separate chemically defined' per Chapter 29 note (a)
