Import Tips

Ship in approved containers per chapter note (e)", ensuring solvent use is solely for safety/transport

Include safety data sheets confirming it's not particularly suited for specific uses beyond general chemical applications

Test for impurities; chapter requires classification based on principal compound even with minor impurities
