Import Tips
• Include RoHS exemption documentation due to cadmium content; verify destination state regulations
• Provide spectrographic analysis proving luminophore function to distinguish from regular pigments
• Declare exact particle size distribution, as nano-scale may trigger additional nanomaterial reporting
