Import Tips

Verify Color Index designation (CI 74265) matches Pigment Green 36 exactly for proper HTS classification under 3204.17.90.15

Include technical data sheets showing chemical composition and purity levels (>98% typical for PG36) in import documentation

Ensure packaging complies with DOT/UN regulations for organic pigments as they may be classified as combustible solids
