Import Tips
• Ensure documentation proves it's a pure extract, not a cosmetic preparation, to stay in Chapter 13
• Test for aloin content; high levels may require health certifications for prophylactic claims
• Avoid packaging as ready-to-use gel to prevent shift to Chapter 33 or 34 classifications
