Import Tips
• Include USP/NF certificate of analysis; cosmetic grade still classified as chemical, not finished cosmetic
• FDA cosmetic notification may be required if re-exported in finished products; maintain bulk chemical status
• Avoid retail packaging - bulk drums preserve Chapter 29 classification vs Chapter 33 consumer goods
