Import Tips
• Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, mass spec) confirming P-C bonds and absence of halogens to justify Chapter 29 classification
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and CAS number (998-40-3) on commercial invoice for CBP verification
• Ensure proper UN packaging for flammable liquids (Class 4.2/4.3) to avoid delays
