Import Tips
• 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
