Import Tips & Compliance

Verify chemical identity via CAS number (68259-05-2) and provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for customs clearance

Ensure packaging complies with DOT/UN hazardous material regulations if shipped in bulk powder form

Confirm dye is not pre-dispersed in non-aqueous media, which would shift to heading 3212
