Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Provide Certificates of Analysis (CoA) confirming pigment purity and synthetic organic base to distinguish from excluded tannin derivatives

β€’ Declare exact CAS number and EINECS for customs verification against chapter exclusions like heading 3203 pure compounds

β€’ Avoid bulk shipments mistaken for industrial chemicals; use proper HTS docs to affirm coloring matter use
