Import Tips
• Verify certificate of analysis (COA) confirming disodium phosphate purity >98% to avoid reclassification as mixtures under 2842
• For food/pharma imports, provide FDA prior notice and comply with 21 CFR labeling; common pitfall is missing heavy metal specs
• Use ISBP for LC payments; declare exact CAS 7558-79-4 to prevent customs holds on chemical identity
