Import Tips

Provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming 99%+ purity and exact chemical identity to avoid misclassification as mixtures under Chapter 38

Ensure proper UN 3439 hazardous material declaration and packaging compliant with DOT 49 CFR for toxic solid transport

Include end-use statement if for R&D to qualify for lower duties under HTS 9810.00.60; avoid bulk imports without FDA registration if pharmaceutical intermediate
