Import Tips
• Ensure the microcrystalline cellulose is in powder form and not further processed into articles
• Verify the degree of polymerization to confirm it is a cellulose derivative, not a different chemical
• If the powder is for pharmaceutical use, ensure it meets pharmacopoeia standards, but the tariff classification remains under 3912.90.00
