Import Tips

• Provide detailed chemical purity certificates (≥98%) and CAS number (2940-92-1) documentation to verify classification as chemically defined compound

• Ensure SDS includes sulfur-carbon bonding confirmation to distinguish from sulfonated derivatives excluded from heading 2930

• Declare exact concentration if diluted in solvents; solutions solely for transport qualify under Chapter 29 note (e)
