Import Tips
• Submit TSCA Form A for new chemical import if not pre-registered; this compound typically requires certification
• Package in UN-approved drums with stabilizer labels per DOT hazmat rules for nickel compounds
• Avoid bulk shipments without origin certificates; EU-sourced material faces stricter scrutiny
