Import Tips

Verify chemical purity and CAS number (4051-63-6) on SDS for exact classification; impurities may shift to 3204.19

Provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) to CBP proving it's a pigment dry powder, not a solution or dispersed prep (avoid 3208)

Label packages with pigment name, batch number, and 'not for food/pharma use' to prevent misclassification under Chapter 32 exclusions
