Import Tips
• Verify colors are put up in retail forms like tubes under 3213; bulk powders may shift to 3206
• Include MSDS for pigments to confirm non-chemical compound status per chapter exclusions
• Label as 'artists' colors' to distinguish from industrial dyes; common pitfall is mislabeling fiber content
