Import Tips
• Obtain Certificates of Analysis (COA) confirming saponin content and absence of pharmaceutical standardization to avoid reclassification as medicaments (3003/3004)
• Label clearly as 'vegetable extract' without therapeutic claims on commercial invoices to comply with FDA import alerts for unapproved drugs
