Import Tips

• Verify the dye is explicitly listed in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI via CBP rulings; provide chemical analysis certificates confirming disperse nature and synthetic organic composition

• Ensure packaging labels CAS number and purity to prevent reclassification as preparations

• Common pitfall: mixing with aqueous media shifts to other subheadings
