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
