Import Tips & Compliance

Include migration and heat stability test data to prove industrial use, preventing end-use shift to retail pigments

Avoid bulk packaging that mimics paint dispersions, which could trigger 3212 classification per note 3 exclusion

Declare exact dye-substrate ratio; low substrate may reclassify as 3204 dye
