Import Tips
• Ship with stabilizer as required by chapter note (e); unstabilized forms pose safety risks during transport
• Include reaction pathway documentation showing derivation from methylphosphonic acid to confirm heading placement
• Verify no solvent content exceeds transport safety limits per chapter note (e) to avoid reclassification
