Import Tips & Compliance

• Require DEA Schedule IV exemption letter and EPA analytical use declaration; stock convention restrictions apply

• Ship in child-resistant laboratory packaging with tamper-evident seals per DOT hazardous materials regulations

• Avoid agricultural end-use declarations; specify 'analytical reference standard only' to prevent customs holds
