Import Tips & Compliance
• Register Drug Master File (DMF) with FDA prior to import; provide batch COA and microbial testing
• Use temperature-controlled shipping (<30°C) to maintain stability; declare as 'API - human medicinal use'
• Avoid 3004 classification—pure chemical bulk excludes finished dosage forms
