Import Tips
• Provide manufacturer's specification confirming BPEMP content meets HTS naming criteria (95%+ by weight)
• Declare as 'primary form polyether' not finished product to prevent reclassification under Chapter 38
• Check TSCA registration for US import; non-compliant chemicals face seizure
