Import Tips
• Verify the ink's solvent content and VOC levels to comply with EPA regulations on volatile organic compounds for printing inks
• Provide detailed technical data sheets showing it's flexographic black ink not in retail packaging to avoid reclassification
• Ensure labeling includes pigment composition and end-use to prevent issues with FDA if used on food packaging
