Import Tips

• Obtain EPA registration number and provide Safety Data Sheet (SDS) showing ≥60% ethanol content; label must specify alcohol percentage and use as disinfectant

• Common pitfall: insufficient proof of retail packing (under 1.5kg units) leads to reclassification

• Verify statistical note 1 compliance via formulation certificate
