Import Tips
• Use NMR or HPLC certificates to confirm meta isomer, preventing confusion with ortho/para forms under same HTS
• Label as hazardous (toxic/phenolic) per GHS; ensure UN packaging for air/sea import
• Monitor for sulfonated impurities, which could shift to earlier halogenated/sulfonated derivatives
