Import Tips

• Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, MS) and CAS number (if assigned) to confirm identity as this specific compound under Chapter 29 note (a)

• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and purity certificate (>98% typical) to verify it's a separate chemically defined compound without disqualifying impurities

• Avoid common pitfall of misclassification as a mixture; ensure documentation proves it's not combined with solvents rendering it suitable for specific use per Chapter 29 note (e)
