Import Tips & Compliance

Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, MS) confirming structure matches listed compound for proper classification under 2934.20.3000

Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and purity certificates (≥98%) as documentation for customs verification

Avoid misclassification as general dye intermediates (3204); specify benzothiazole ring structure in invoices
