Import Tips
• Provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming purity >99% and absence of impurities to meet chapter 29 chemically defined compound requirements
• Ensure DEA registration if imported in quantities suggesting pharmaceutical bulk use; include safety data sheets for amide compounds
• Label with exact CAS number (103-90-2) and avoid retail packaging to prevent reclassification under chapter 30
