Import Tips & Compliance
• Document moisture content (typically 60-80%) and solids percentage to confirm presscake form vs dry or slurry
• Use UN-approved packaging for wet pigments to prevent leakage; avoid common misdeclaration as dry powder
• Include batch purity certificates (min 95% PY12) and supplier Color Index reference for customs verification
