Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming purity >99% and absence of impurities to meet chapter 29 chemically defined compound requirements

โ€ข Ensure DEA registration if imported in quantities suggesting pharmaceutical bulk use; include safety data sheets for amide compounds

โ€ข Label with exact CAS number (103-90-2) and avoid retail packaging to prevent reclassification under chapter 30
