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)
