Import Tips
• Use GC-MS analysis reports to verify against common adulterants like shorter-chain mercaptoacetates
• Package in nitrogen-blanketed drums to prevent oxidation, supporting 'necessary stabilizer' claim
• Avoid retail packaging; bulk industrial containers reinforce chemical intermediate status
