Import Tips
• Verify alkaloid content via lab testing to confirm classification as ephedra extract, not a finished medicament under Chapter 30
• Provide Certificates of Analysis (CoA) showing botanical origin and purity; avoid shipments mixed with sugars exceeding 10%
• Comply with FDA import alerts on ephedrine-containing products; declare as raw extract only
