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
