Import Tips
• Provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming purity >98% as azelaic acid to avoid reclassification as mixtures
• Ensure proper labeling as 'not for human consumption' if industrial grade to prevent FDA scrutiny
• Verify CAS 123-99-9 documentation; common pitfall is mislabeling as adipic acid (2917.12)
