Import Tips
• Use ISF filings early and include PMTA status if applicable; non-FDA compliant vapes face detention
• Document glycerol and aromatic ratios precisely to defend against challenges to the 5% threshold
• Separate from any nicotine products in shipments to avoid commingling and reclassification risks
