If put up in forms particularly suitable for retail dye use

Chapter 29(g) exclusion sends retail-ready coloring forms to Chapter 32.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Document intended industrial use to distinguish from Chapter 32 exclusions for coloring matters

• Test for heavy metal impurities (<10 ppm) required for dye intermediate import clearance

• Use DOT-approved corrosive packaging; common violation leads to CBP holds
