Import Tips

Disclose encapsulation matrix composition; if >20% coating, risks reclassification as prepared product

FDA requires proof that microencapsulation doesn't alter chemical identity for Chapter 29 retention

Use tamper-evident, moisture-proof drums; agglomeration during transit common pitfall
