Import Tips
• Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, IR spectra) confirming the exact structure matches the named compound in 2931.90.10.00 to avoid reclassification
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and end-use statements showing industrial chemical applications, not retail packaging
• Verify purity levels (>98%) as impurities may affect classification; common pitfall is mislabeling as general phosphite ester under broader codes
