Import Tips & Compliance

Include REACH or TSCA certification if destined for US manufacturing to prove regulatory compliance

Verify no sugar imide contamination; mislabeling leads to reclassification under 2925.19.30

Use temperature-controlled shipping (<40°C) as succinimide is hygroscopic; document to prevent decomposition claims
