Import Tips
• Provide end-use statement for plasticizer manufacturing to support industrial chemical import valuation
• Ensure no coordination with metals that would trigger Chapter 29 note 3(C)(3) reclassification
• Confirm drum packaging prevents solvent evaporation maintaining solution stability per note (e)
