Import Tips
• Label packages clearly as 'sensitizing emulsion for color negative paper' to match the HTS subheading precisely
• Obtain prior FDA or TSCA pre-notice if containing certain silver compounds, common pitfall for chemical imports
• Use refrigerated transport; improper storage leads to frequent quality claims and rejections at customs
