Import Tips
• Verify the Color Index (CI) name and number on commercial invoices to match HTS 3204.13.10.00 specifications exactly
• Provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) confirming it's a basic dye preparation, not dispersed in non-aqueous media per chapter note 3
• Avoid misclassification as disperse dyes; test solubility in water to confirm cationic nature
