Import Tips
• Include manufacturing process details (thermal decomposition) in invoices to distinguish from furnace black
• Check for REACH compliance if destined for EU markets, as carbon black is registered
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as lampblack, which is also under 2803 but requires specific origin certification
