Import Tips
• Use NMR or GC-MS analysis certificates to prove molecular structure matching HTS description
• Segregate from halogenated phosphonates in shipping to prevent cross-contamination and classification errors
• Calculate duties based on pure weight; additive carriers increase mixture classification risk
