Import Tips
• Verify purity and chemical composition via lab analysis to confirm classification under Chapter 28 as a chemically defined inorganic compound
• Include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) documenting toxicity and handling requirements for chromium compounds
• Avoid misclassification as a finished pigment mixture, which may fall under Chapter 32 if blended with organic binders
