Import Tips

Provide substrate analysis (e.g

alumina content >20%) in technical data sheets to substantiate lake status under 3205, as mixtures may shift to 3204

Comply with FDA color additive regulations if for cosmetics/food contact, including batch certificates to avoid FDA holds at entry

Watch for common pitfalls like incorrect HS declaration as 'pigment powder' leading to 3212 reclassification if solvent-dispersed
