Import Tips & Compliance

BET surface area test reports critical; values >3.0 m²/g may disqualify from 'surface-modified' specific subheading

Declare LC50 data if silane treatment involves volatile organics to address potential hazmat classification

Use incoterms clearly separating quality inspection from customs valuation to prevent disputes
