Import Tips & Compliance

Verify purity and hydrate form via Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to confirm classification as chemically defined calcium phosphate

Include REACH or TSCA compliance docs for chemical import; avoid misclassification as fertilizer under Chapter 31

Check for heavy metal contaminants as per FDA regs for feed/food use; bulk shipments need proper ventilation
