Import Tips
• Include FDA compliance letters confirming GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status for flavor use to prevent holds at customs
• Avoid bulk packaging over 25kg without stabilizers, as instability can lead to denaturation claims and reclassification
• Declare exact CAS number (112-31-2) on entry documents to match HTS specifications precisely
