Import Tips

• Verify chemical composition via lab analysis to confirm synthetic organic pigment status and avoid reclassification as a dye

• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and technical specs in documentation to prove it's a pigment preparation per Chapter Note 3

• Watch for solvent content; if over 50% volatile organic solvents, it may shift to heading 3208
