Import Tips

• Verify purity certificates and USP compliance documentation to meet FDA import requirements for pharmaceutical-grade chemicals

• Ensure proper HAZMAT labeling and shipping papers as it's flammable; common pitfall is inadequate UN packaging certification

• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) in customs entry to avoid delays during CBP chemical inspections
