Import Tips
• Include encapsulation specs and migration test results to validate as pigment preparation, not a Chapter 39 polymer additive
• Declare exact C.I
• Pigment Red 149 designation on commercial invoice for precise subheading match
• Avoid pitfall of set sales; ship separately from resins to prevent 'set' classification under different chapters
