Import Tips
• Verify purity certificate (typically 99%+) as impurities may affect classification under Chapter 29 notes
• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) documenting it's a separate chemically defined compound per chapter note (a)
• Avoid retail packaging over 1kg to prevent reclassification as Chapter 32 coloring matter preparations
