Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide USP/EP certificate of analysis confirming ≥94% purity and low heavy metals for FDA/CBP scrutiny

• Declare as 'dipentaerythritol ≥94%' explicitly; vague 'polyol' descriptions risk 3824 classification

• Use child-resistant packaging if destined for pharma to meet import safety standards
