Import Tips

Provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and chemical composition certificates confirming TMQ oligomer content to verify classification under 3812.31.00.00

Check REACH or TSCA compliance for chemical imports; TMQ mixtures may require pre-registration with EPA

Avoid misclassification as general rubber chemicals (3812.90); specify TMQ content to prevent duty reassessment
