Import Tips
• Declare net chemical weight excluding counterion if required; HCl content affects duty calculation
• Ensure GHS-compliant labeling for corrosive hazards; common pitfall is missing DOT/UN proper shipping name
• For repackaging, maintain bulk industrial form to avoid retail chemical classification under 3824
