Import Tips
• Verify surfactant concentration meets 3402 note 2(a-b) via lab testing to avoid reclassification to Chapter 38
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and ingredient lists; common pitfall is missing VOC compliance for US EPA
• Label as 'cleaning preparation' not 'soap' to prevent shift to 3401; check state regulations for hazardous declarations
