Import Tips

• Include spectral analysis (NMR/IR) verifying aromatic structure and single oxygen-function amino-acid nature to prevent misclassification as phenols (2907)

• Label with correct nomenclature avoiding 'L-tyrosine' designation if racemic; racemates have different regulatory considerations

• Watch for reclassification as feed-grade additives (2309) if impure or mixed with carriers; must be >98% pure chemically defined compound
