Import Tips & Compliance

Test for heavy metal impurities per EPA regs; provide analytical reports to clear TSCA pre-manufacture notices

Use HTSUS statistical suffix accurately for yellow synthetic to match duty rates; mismatches delay clearance

Avoid bulk packaging confusion with natural ochers by specifying 'synthetic' on all docs
