Import Tips
• Submit dye strength analysis (100% basis) to confirm tariff match; impurities >5% risk reclassification
• Comply with REACH Annex XVII if EU origin, as azo dyes have aromatic amine restrictions
• Package in moisture-proof bags; water-soluble dyes degrade, affecting declared purity at entry
