• Verify iodine content labeling complies with FDA standards to avoid reclassification as a food additive
• Provide certificates of analysis confirming purity as sodium chloride over 97% to prevent duties under chemical headings
• Check for anti-caking agent declarations; excessive additives may trigger food safety inspections
