Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Verify chemical purity and provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm it meets 'chemically defined' criteria under Chapter 28 notes
ā¢ Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) due to toxicity; ensure compliance with TSCA and EPA regulations for cadmium compounds
ā¢ Avoid misclassification as finished pigment products under Chapter 32; ship in bulk powder form
