Import Tips & Compliance

Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and purity certificate (>98%) to substantiate chemical identity for CBP review

Avoid anti-dusting agents that could trigger reclassification under general chemical mixtures if exceeding Chapter 29 note (g) limits

Confirm bulk industrial packaging to distinguish from diluted retail preparations excluded by Chapter notes
