• Obtain prior approval from BIS or ATF due to chemical weapons precursor status; include detailed safety data sheets and toxicity profiles in documentation
• Verify end-use statements to avoid dual-use export control violations
• Common pitfall: inadequate labeling of arsenic content leading to CBP holds
