Import Tips
• Include NMR or IR spectra verifying C=N imine bond to distinguish from amines or other nitrogen compounds
• Label with GHS hazard pictograms for skin sensitizers and ensure proper ventilation requirements
• Check REACH compliance if transshipping through EU for pre-registration of imine substances
