Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Include CAS registry number (75-77-4) and purity analysis in commercial invoice for accurate HTS verification

โ€ข Ensure packaging meets UN hazardous material standards due to flammability and corrosivity

โ€ข Avoid bulk shipments without stabilizers, as they may reclassify under Chapter 38 if not meeting Chapter 29 purity notes
