Import Tips

• Include NMR/IR spectra confirming ortho-difluoro substitution and nitrile purity to prevent reclassification as generic fluorobenzene derivatives

• Verify compliance with TSCA inventory listing (CAS 28272-52-0) and provide REACH status for EU-origin material

• Ship in amber glass or HDPE containers with stabilizers only if necessary for transport per Chapter 29 note (f); excess additives trigger Chapter 38
