Import Tips

• Provide product safety data sheets (SDS) highlighting photosensitive nature per Chapter 37 notes on photographic processes

• Avoid bulk packaging without individual light-tight wraps; common issue is claims of damage from light exposure during transit

• Confirm 'unexposed' status with customs via affidavits; differentiate from exposed plates under 3705
