Import Tips
• 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
