Import Tips

• Verify purity levels and provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) to confirm classification as chemically defined compound

• Ensure proper labeling for food-grade vs industrial-grade to avoid reclassification under Chapter 38 mixtures

• Check for stabilizer additions that might trigger note 1(f) but confirm they don't alter general use classification
