Import Tips
• Include pharmacopoeial compliance certificates (USP/EP) and GMP manufacturing details; FDA requires this for API imports
• Use nitrogen-flushed, light-protected packaging to prevent degradation; customs often tests for iron content accuracy
• File with full chemical composition disclosure to avoid misclassification as general iron compounds
