Import Tips

• Verify chemical purity and CAS number (4948-15-6) via Certificate of Analysis to confirm classification under 3204.17.90.25 and avoid reclassification as a dye

• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and pigment dispersion test results in documentation to demonstrate it's a pigment, not a soluble dye preparation

• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as a general 'red pigment' which could trigger audits; specify 'Pigment Red 149' explicitly on invoices
