Import Tips
• Verify iron content via lab analysis to confirm >70% combined iron as Fe2O3 for proper classification
• Ensure Certificate of Analysis (CoA) documents synthetic production and pigment purity to avoid misclassification as natural earth colors
• Check for REACH compliance if destined for EU markets, as iron oxides have registration requirements
