Import Tips
• Verify dye purity and provide chemical analysis certificates to confirm it matches Reactive Black 1 specifications and avoid misclassification
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and ensure compliance with EPA TSCA regulations for chemical imports
• Check for REACH compliance if from EU sources; common pitfall is incorrect concentration labeling leading to duty disputes
