Import Tips

• Verify buyer compliance with FDA regulations as potassium bromate is banned in food use in the US since 1991; import primarily for non-food uses like laboratory reagents

• Provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming purity >99% to avoid misclassification

• Ensure proper Hazard Communication labeling due to its oxidizer properties
