Import Tips
• Include IUPAC name and CAS (94-70-2) on documentation; declare as dye intermediate to avoid Chapter 32 misclassification
• Ensure packaging meets UN standards for corrosive solids; common issue is inadequate hazard labeling
• Provide end-use certificate if importing for dye manufacturing to facilitate CBP review
