Import Tips
• Certify intended use as dye intermediate with end-user letters; prevents misclassification as finished coloring matter
• Use nitrogen-blanketed packaging to prevent oxidation; include stability data in import documentation
• Confirm no dye coupler additions that would invoke chapter note (h) dilution provisions for azo dye production
