Import Tips
• Epoprostenol is often shipped as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution; ensure it is not in a measured-dose vial for retail sale, which would move it to Chapter 30
• Provide the chemical structure and salt form details to the CBSA
• Verify if a Special Access Programme or clinical trial authorization is required for importation
