Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify exact Color Index name (Direct Black 62) on Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and certificate of analysis to confirm HTS 3204.14.10.00 classification

• Ensure proper hazardous material labeling and shipping documents as dyes may be regulated under DOT/IMDG for environmental compliance

• Request supplier's purity certificate (>85% dye content) to distinguish from preparations potentially classifiable elsewhere
