Import Tips
• Verify emulsion type and base material on technical data sheets to confirm classification under 3701, avoiding misfiling as paper-based
• Include safety data sheets (SDS) for silver halide chemicals in documentation to meet hazmat import regs
• Store and ship refrigerated if specified by manufacturer to prevent fogging, a common pitfall leading to rejected shipments
