Import Tips
• Confirm pigments are not chemically defined pure compounds excluded by chapter notes; artist formulations qualify
• Use HTS invoices specifying 'watercolor sets in pans' and color variety to prevent misclassification as raw pigments
• Test for lead/heavy metals compliance with toy safety regs if marketed to students under 12
