Import Tips
• Chapter note (d) requires solution concentration <50% for pure compound classification; higher levels risk mixture status
• Include stabilizer declaration (per note f) if anti-caking agents present; undeclared additives cause reclassification
• Hazardous material shipping papers must specify phosphonate content for emergency response compliance
