Import Tips
• Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, IR spectra) confirming imine structure to avoid reclassification as aromatic aldehyde derivatives
• Ensure proper Hazard Communication labeling per GHS standards for flammable organic liquids
• Include Certificate of Analysis verifying purity >98% as required for chemical intermediates
