Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the preparation is specifically for ceramic, enameling or glass industries via supplier specs to confirm HTS 3207 classification

Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) documenting heavy metal content for EPA compliance on ceramic pigments

Avoid common pitfall of classifying as synthetic organic colors (3204) if it's an inorganic oxide blend
