Import Tips
• Provide CAS number 29385-43-1 and purity certificate on commercial invoice to confirm classification under 2933.99.82.20
• Include SDS and end-use statement specifying corrosion inhibition to avoid reclassification as a mixture under Chapter 38
• Verify TSCA registration for US entry; common pitfall is missing impurity declarations exceeding chapter note limits
