Import Tips

Verify chemical purity and structure via Certificate of Analysis to confirm it meets Chapter 29 note (a) for separate chemically defined compounds

Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) showing no added solvents or stabilizers that could trigger reclassification under notes (e) or (f)

Avoid common pitfall of classifying as polymers; trioxane is excluded from 2932 per chapter notes if considered cyclic polymer of aldehydes
