Import Tips
• Require microbiological and toxin testing certificates due to common cyanotoxin risks in spirulina
• Label as 'food grade' with batch numbers; avoid medicinal claims to prevent Chapter 30 reclassification
• Monitor particle size declarations, as overly fine powders might be scrutinized for pharmaceutical use
