Import Tips
• Provide chemical analysis certificates confirming ≥98% purity to verify classification under 2926.90.50.10 rather than mixtures
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) documenting hazardous properties (toxic, flammable) for proper DOT and customs handling
• Ensure packaging complies with UN standards for toxic liquids; avoid retail packaging that might shift to Chapter 38
