Import Tips
• Label containers with 'Not for human consumption' and photographic end-use to prevent FDA intervention
• Pair with commercial invoices showing value per liter, as duties are often ad valorem on these high-value chemicals
• Consult CBP rulings (e.g
• NY N123456) for similar products to preempt classification disputes
