Import Tips

Verify dye purity and solvent solubility via lab analysis to confirm solvent dye classification and avoid misclassification as disperse dyes

Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and technical specs in documentation to prove it's not a chemically defined compound excluded by chapter notes

Watch for common pitfalls like incorrect declarations of mixtures exceeding two subheadings, triggering reclassification
