Import Tips
• Provide color specification sheets and production process details to distinguish from organic violets in heading 3204
• Ensure packaging labels clearly state 'inorganic pigment based on ultramarine' to prevent CBP reclassification
• Watch for contamination issues; test for heavy metals as cosmetics-bound shipments face stricter FDA entry requirements
