Import Tips
• Provide lab test results confirming Color Index number and vatting solubility to support classification under this specific subheading
• Declare exact concentration and impurities; vat dyes often require special handling declarations for chemical safety
• Watch for bulk vs. retail packaging—retail forms might trigger 3212 scrutiny if not purely dye
