Import Tips & Compliance

Submit BASF technical data sheet and color index (C.I

Pigment Red 214) for binding ruling requests to lock in classification

Check for REACH compliance labels if from EU, as US CBP may scrutinize chemical import docs

Avoid importing pre-dispersed in resin, as that becomes a plastic color concentrate under 3206 or 3824
