Import Tips
• Provide stereochemical analysis confirming D-chiro form to distinguish from myo-inositol under the same heading
• Avoid anti-caking agents unless necessary for transport per Chapter 29 note (f); otherwise, classify as mixtures
• Check for FDA GRAS status documentation to facilitate customs clearance for food/supplement use
