Import Tips
• Confirm tablets are purely dried algae without binders that could classify as medicaments (Chapter 30)
• Include certificates of analysis for purity and microbial safety as required for dietary ingredients
• Declare as 'food for human consumption' to avoid biotech culture classification under 3002
