Import Tips
• Verify purity and chemical composition via lab analysis to confirm classification as chemically defined nitrate under Chapter 28
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Certificates of Analysis in documentation to avoid misclassification as mixtures
• Check for food-grade certifications if intended for E251 preservative use to comply with FDA import requirements
