Import Tips

• Verify chemical purity and provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm identity as dibutyltin oxide per Chapter 29 note (a)

• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) detailing toxicity; organo-tin compounds require EPA TSCA registration for US import

• Avoid misclassification as mixtures; ensure product meets 'separate chemically defined compound' criteria to prevent reclassification
