Import Tips & Compliance
• Note that the end-use does not affect classification under 2916.39.00, but veterinary drugs must comply with the Health of Animals Act and the Food and Drugs Act
• Ensure the API is not put up in measured doses or for retail sale, which would reclassify it under heading 30.03 or 30.04
• Provide a certificate of analysis to confirm purity and identity
