Import Tips
• Verify exact aromatic content via lab analysis certificate to confirm 5-25% range for 3814.00.10.00 classification
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) showing composition and flash point for DOT and EPA compliance
• Avoid misdeclaration as pure solvent (3814.00.50.00) which has different duties; check for VOC regulations
