Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'industrial dye intermediate - not for retail' to avoid chapter exclusion (l)
• Include coupling instructions only if necessary for safety; excess formulation info risks reclassification
• Monitor for anti-dumping duties on diazo compounds from specific countries like India or China
