Import Tips

Obtain Certificate of Analysis (CoA) verifying 99%+ purity and INN identity to confirm classification under 2924.11; impurities may shift to other amide headings

Register as pharmaceutical importer with FDA and comply with DEA controlled substance requirements since meprobamate is Schedule IV

Provide drug master file (DMF) references and avoid retail packaging to prevent reclassification as finished medicaments under Chapter 30
