Import Tips

• Verify purity certificate (≥95%) and provide chemical analysis (GC-MS) to confirm isophytol identity per Chapter 29 note (a)

• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) documenting it's a pure chemical compound, not a mixture or formulated product

• Avoid misclassification as vitamin E precursor mixtures which may fall under Chapter 30 if pharmaceutical-grade
