Import Tips
• Provide detailed chemical analysis certificates confirming purity and isomer identity to avoid misclassification
• Ensure proper UN-approved packaging for flammable liquids (UN 2313) with Hazard Class 3 labeling
• Verify REACH compliance for EU imports and TSCA registration for US; common pitfall is missing stabilizer declarations
