Import Tips
• Certify sodium salt form with ionic content analysis; free acid form might classify differently under amine headings
• Declare as 'not for retail sale' to prevent shift to Chapter 32 exclusions for coloring matter preparations
• Monitor purity thresholds; impurities over 5% may trigger mixture classification under heading 3824
