Import Tips
• Label containers with exact solvent composition to distinguish from heading 3208 polymer solutions
• Include end-use statements confirming manufacture of paints to prevent misclassification as finished paint
• Check for REACH compliance if destined for EU markets, as aluminum pigments have specific registration requirements
