Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify chemical purity via Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm classification as chemically defined compound under Chapter 29
• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and proper UN shipping papers for hazardous material transport compliance
• Avoid misclassification as phenol derivative (2907) by documenting primary nitrile function
