Import Tips
• Verify exact composition via lab analysis to confirm methyl chloroform content for proper HTS classification
• Obtain EPA approvals and TSCA certifications due to ozone-depleting substance regulations
• Avoid misclassification as general solvents (3824) by documenting specific halogenated components
