Import Tips
• Provide supplier's technical data sheet confirming CI number 14260 to match tariff's Basic Red 14 specification
• Declare exact dye content percentage; impurities over threshold may trigger reclassification to preparations
• Avoid bulk packaging confusion with vat dyes (3204.14); clear labeling prevents 3204.14 misclassification
