Import Tips
• Verify purity and chemical identity via Certificate of Analysis (COA) to confirm classification as Pigment Red 149, avoiding reclassification as a preparation
• Ensure packaging labels specify 'dry pigment' and CAS number (4948-15-6) for customs compliance; bulk shipments require proper MSDS
