Import Tips
• Confirm water-based formulation with safety data sheets (SDS) to meet REACH-like compliance for imported inks
• Declare exact end-use (e.g
• labels) to differentiate from food-contact inks requiring FDA prior sanction
• Avoid bulk packaging mislabeling as retail to stay in industrial flexo classification
