Import Tips

• Verify inclusion in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI and obtain chemical analysis certificates confirming aromatic organo-inorganic classification

• Comply with EPA regulations on lead compounds; provide safety data sheets and transport permits for hazardous materials

• Avoid misclassification as petroleum additives (Chapter 27); emphasize organometallic structure in documentation
