Import Tips

• Verify purity (typically 96% active) and provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm classification as LABSA, not diluted preparations

• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) showing anionic surface-active properties per Chapter 34 Note 2; ensure proper UN packaging for corrosive liquids

• Avoid misclassification as retail detergent (3402.20); bulk industrial shipments >50kg qualify here but watch for salt content triggering 3402.31.10
