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
