Import Tips
• Provide FDA-compliant certificates of analysis confirming food-grade purity and absence of heavy metals
• Label shipments clearly as 'food flavoring chemical' to expedite FDA prior notice requirements
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as industrial solvent, which changes classification and duty treatment
