Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit EPA registration documents if intended for pesticide synthesis to facilitate agricultural end-use verification
• Ensure transport in Chapter 29-compliant solvent solutions (note e) without functional additives for specific applications
• Document molecular structure via NMR/IR spectra to distinguish from halogenated derivatives in 2931 earlier subheadings
