Import Tips
• Provide Certificates of Analysis (CoA) confirming pigment purity and synthetic organic base to distinguish from excluded tannin derivatives
• Declare exact CAS number and EINECS for customs verification against chapter exclusions like heading 3203 pure compounds
• Avoid bulk shipments mistaken for industrial chemicals; use proper HTS docs to affirm coloring matter use
