Import Tips & Compliance

Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) confirming solvent solubility and non-reactivity with water for proper 3204.19 verification

Test for purity >98% as impurities may trigger mixture classification outside the specific solvent yellow subheading

Avoid bulk shipments without individual dye identification; customs often requires batch certificates
