Import Tips
• Confirm the powder is in primary form and that the methylcellulose content is at least 95% by weight
• If the powder contains additives like anti-caking agents, ensure they are within allowable limits
• Keep documentation of the manufacturing process to show it is a chemically modified cellulose, not a separate chemical compound
