Although I've seen and used conductive sticky tape that is safe for ESD sensitive packing, suffice to say, this is plain old sticky tape! Which probably produces a couple of kilovolts of static charge when pulled from reels!
ESD precautions from a component supplier...."a dirty word". I hope they are ok, cheap enough, but the issue is using them and they may be degraded or worse.
Might look for some more.
edit:
meant to say, this IC was used in quite a few webcams...and I think playstation (don't know which version). I might even think of ratting them if I can get my hands on some webcams. I can remove them quickly with a SOP adaptor to my Hakko. I would have more confidence in a part sourced this method than the UTSource ones. I have 2 Philips SPC800NC webcams (one mono sensor, one colour)...but...I'm not ratting them!
