Import Tips & Compliance

• Request supplier Certificate of Analysis specifying <0.5% impurities to maintain Chapter 29 chemical compound status

• Avoid retail packaging; bulk industrial shipments prevent shift to Chapter 32 retail dye provisions

• Check REACH compliance documentation for EU-origin material destined for US transshipment
