Import Tips
• Document stabilizer concentration precisely; excess may trigger reclassification as a chemical mixture under 3824
• Use proper HazMat packaging (UN 3077 or 1760) and include polymerization risk warnings in import declarations
• Test for active monomer content (>99%) upon arrival to confirm no in-transit polymerization occurred
