Import Tips & Compliance

• Classify based on graphite content (>50%) with silicon; test viscosity to confirm paste vs. liquid chemical status

• Ship in temperature-controlled containers to maintain slurry stability; declare shelf life on commercial invoice

• EPA may require pre-import notice for new chemical substances if silicon particle morphology differs
