Import Tips
• Obtain FDA certification of color additive listing and ensure batch purity meets 21 CFR 74.705 specifications to avoid detention
• Provide supplier's Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming CAS 1934-21-0 identity and heavy metal limits during customs entry
• Label shipments clearly as 'FD&C Yellow 5' to match HTS description; mislabeling as generic dye risks reclassification
