Import Tips
• Provide detailed chemical purity certificates and SDS to verify it meets Chapter 29 criteria for chemically defined organic compounds
• Ensure proper UN-approved packaging for hazardous liquid transport; common pitfalls include inadequate stabilization against polymerization
• Declare exact CAS number (107-13-1) on entry documents to avoid reclassification
