Import Tips
• Document stabilizer composition in SDS to prove necessity for preservation per Chapter 29 note (f); excess additives risk reclassification
• Comply with TSCA Import Certification for PFAS; declare as new chemical if not on inventory
• Label containers clearly for safety/emetic additions under note (g) to avoid customs delays
