Import Tips
• Verify chemical purity and provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm it meets the definition of a separate chemically defined compound under Chapter 29 note (a)
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) detailing any stabilizers or anti-dusting agents, ensuring they comply with Chapter 29 note (f) or (g) without rendering it specific-use
• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassification as mixtures; declare exact CAS number (4151-50-2) and PFAS content for EPA TSCA compliance
