Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure GRAS status documentation for food-grade imports; test particle size for pharma applications
• Label as 'food additive' or 'supplement' to prevent reclassification; use ISBT codes for bulk chemical drums
• Monitor for microbial contamination in humid storage; common pitfall is moisture absorption changing hydrate form
