Import Tips
• Verify chemical purity and provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming it's a fast color base per Chapter 29 notes, not a finished dye (excluded under note 2(g))
• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) detailing amine-function composition to avoid misclassification as mixtures or Chapter 32 coloring matter
• Label shipments clearly as 'Fast Color Bases - For Dye Manufacturing Use Only' to prevent retail packing confusion with heading 3212
