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
