Import Tips & Compliance

Provide manufacturer's specification sheet confirming CAS 41556-26-7 identity and >98% purity

Classify as Environmentally Hazardous Substance per IMDG Code 9.1 for ocean transport

Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'plastic additive' which triggers 3824 reclassification
