Import Tips
• Include heat stability test data (typically 300°C+) as PG36 is valued for high-temperature plastic processing
• Use ISCC or equivalent color standard documentation to confirm shade consistency with PG36 specifications
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'pigment powder' without specific CI number, which delays clearance
