Import Tips

Verify emulsion composition via lab analysis to confirm it meets sensitizing criteria and avoid misclassification as a general chemical under Chapter 28

Include safety data sheets (SDS) documenting photosensitive properties and handling requirements for hazardous materials declaration

Ensure packaging labels specify 'for photographic use' to qualify under Chapter 37, preventing reclassification as industrial chemicals
