Import Tips & Compliance

Specify 'not polymerized' on commercial invoice; polymerization shifts classification entirely

Monitor for oligomer content (<0.5% required for pure compound status under Chapter 29)

DOT hazard class 8 labeling mandatory; ensure carrier has chemical handling certification
