Import Tips & Compliance

Include stabilizer composition in commercial invoice; anticaking agents must be declared per Chapter note (f)

Obtain prior EPA notification if for dye manufacturing; TSCA registration required for new importers

Check for anti-dusting agent additions; excess may trigger reclassification from pure compound
