Import Tips
• Provide chemical structure analysis confirming aromatic classification and exclusion from headings 2907-2909
• Ensure CAS number (108-73-6) matches import documentation to avoid misclassification as a simple phenol
• Declare intended industrial use only; consumer packaging triggers Chapter 32 retail exclusions
