Import Tips
• Provide TSCA certification; antimony compounds require Section 8 reporting for volumes >10,000 lbs/year
• Solid material but toxic dust hazard—requires NIOSH-approved respirators for handling documentation
• Common misclassification as 2835 antimony salts; insist on 2931 organometallic classification
