Import Tips

Verify purity and chemical identity via Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm classification under Chapter 29 as a separate chemically defined compound

Include safety data sheets (SDS) showing stabilizers if present, ensuring they meet Chapter 29 note (f) for transport without changing general use

Avoid misclassification as dye intermediates; declare as pure chemical to prevent reclassification under Chapter 32
