Import Tips & Compliance

• Specify extrusion temperature range (200-280°C) and polymer solubility in commercial invoice

• Provide chromatogram verifying single dye component, no fillers or carriers

• Distinguish from finished masterbatches; pure dyes stay in 3204, compounded pellets go to Chapter 39
