Import Tips
• Verify the exact Color Index name (e.g
• PR112) matches tariff specifications via supplier SDS to ensure correct HTS classification
• Provide certificates of analysis confirming chemical purity and absence of heavy metals to meet EPA and customs regulations
• Avoid misclassification as a dye preparation; pigments must be insoluble in the application medium per Chapter Note 3
