Import Tips
• Include USP/EP certificate of analysis; pharma-grade requires additional FDA import alerts monitoring
• Declare 'synthetic' vs 'natural' on entry; both same tariff but affects labeling claims
• Sterile packaging required for pharma use; validate container closure integrity documentation
