Import Tips
• Verify chemical composition via lab testing to confirm luminophore properties and avoid misclassification under chapter 28 inorganic compounds
• Provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Certificates of Analysis (COA) to customs for proof of use as coloring preparation
• Check for solvent content; if over 50% VOCs, it may shift to heading 3208 per chapter notes
