Import Tips
• 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
