Import Tips

• Provide detailed chemical analysis certificates confirming purity and structure to verify classification under Chapter 29 note (a)

• Include safety data sheets (SDS) as stabilizers or solvents must not render it suitable for specific use per Chapter notes

• Avoid misclassification as mixtures; ensure it's imported as a separate chemically defined compound, not diluted beyond allowed limits
