Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Submit manufacturer's specifications confirming CAS number and purity >98% to distinguish from impure mixtures excluded by Chapter Note 2(a)

โ€ข Document end-use as dye intermediate only; retail dye preparations trigger Chapter 32 reclassification

โ€ข Check for anti-dusting agents; allowable per Note 2(g) if solely for safety/identification without specific use adaptation
