Import Tips
• Certificate of Analysis showing 95-98% purity maintains specific HTS 2934.99.03.00 classification vs general grade
• Batch-specific documentation required as technical grade variations affect duty treatment
• Ensure no added stabilizers beyond Chapter 29 note (f) allowances to prevent reclassification
