Import Tips
• Require HPLC chromatograms from suppliers to confirm identity as Acid Blue 127 versus similar blue dyes
• Check for heavy metal content restrictions, as premetallized dyes often contain chromium or cobalt complexes
• Maintain records showing industrial end-use to avoid retail packaging classification in 3212
