Import Tips
• Document anticaking agent composition and quantity (<0.5% w/w) to satisfy Chapter 29 note (f) requirements
• Flowability test data required to justify stabilizer addition as transport necessity only
• Avoid overuse of additives which could trigger 'particularly suitable for specific use' exclusion
