Import Tips
• Verify USP or EP certification and provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for FDA compliance as it may be used in pharmaceuticals
• Ensure proper labeling of iodine content and hazardous material declarations per DOT regulations for safe transport
• Avoid misclassification as a finished drug product; import as bulk chemical to prevent higher duties under Chapter 30
