Import Tips
• Submit FCC specification certificates verifying iron content between 11.6-12.5% and low heavy metal levels
• Declare as food/chemical additive, not finished supplement, to maintain Chapter 29 classification
• Include stability data for moisture-sensitive ferrous gluconate to prevent oxidation during shipping
