Import Tips
• Provide Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) safety data; ensure <0.1% impurities for skin contact
• Declare exact use (cosmetic vs industrial) on entry; misdeclaration leads to audits
• Package in anti-dusting bags per Chapter Note (g) if needed, but avoid additives changing classification
