Import Tips
• Provide detailed compositional analysis showing >50% content of the specified phosphorus structure to justify classification
• Comply with REACH-like declarations if transshipping from EU; US importers need proper hazardous material labeling
• Watch for auto-reclassification to waste streams if concentration indicates unfit for use, per Chapter 38 notes
