Import Tips
• Provide chemical purity certificates (typically 98%+ min) and CAS number (84-86-6) documentation to verify identity
• Ensure SDS includes GHS classification for skin/eye irritant hazards; REACH compliance required for EU transshipment
• Avoid misclassification as finished dye (HTS 32); confirm no azo coupling has occurred
