Import Tips
• Include solubility test results showing organic solvent compatibility to avoid confusion with water-soluble acid dyes
• Declare exact purity (typically >98%) and CAS (842-07-9); impurities over 1% may require additional chemical analysis
• Avoid packaging in paste/liquid form with dispersants, as that triggers 3212 for paint precursors
