Import Tips
• 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
