For classification details, visit the HTS database. Code 2931.59.00 applies to dyestuffs, which aligns with shipping requirements for dye formulations.

UNIS HTS code 2931.59.00 governs dyestuffs, ensuring compliance with international trade regulations for safe transport.

- **Storage Size/Dimensions**: Minimum 200 square feet, 15ft x 13ft floor area. Height clearance: 12 feet. This allows for approximately 10-15 standard 55-gallon drums. - **Storage Conditions**: The area must be dry storage, with good ventilation to prevent the build-up of vapors. The floor should be a smooth, durable surface suitable for pallet storage. Regular inspections are required to identify any spills or leaks immediately. - **Special Handling**: Dye formulations are considered potentially corrosive. All containers must be clearly labeled with hazard warnings. Utilize protective padding and bracing on all drums and containers. Implement a spill containment protocol with absorbent materials readily available. - **Stacking/Shelving**: Items can be stored using pallet racking, with a maximum stack height of 4 pallets. Shelving is not recommended due to potential instability. Pallet dimensions should be consistent (48” x 40”). - **Access Requirements**: Loading dock: 10ft wide x 12ft long. Dock height: 48 inches. Door width: 10 feet. A minimum clearance of 8 feet is required at the dock to accommodate forklift maneuvering. Forklift capacity: 5,000 lbs. Regular forklift maintenance is crucial.

Implement spill containment protocols, secure labeling for hazardous materials, and use protective padding to prevent damage during transport.

Containers must include hazard warnings, secure closures, and protective measures to mitigate risks of leakage or contamination.

Ensure loading docks meet 40ft container standards and forklift capacity of 3000kg to handle bulk shipments safely.

Freight class and shipping costs depend on packaging, weight, and compliance with NMFC code 131150 for dyestuffs.
