Import Tips
• FCC compliance docs required; test for heavy metals (<10ppm) to pass FDA import alerts
• Specify dihydrate form in entry docs; anhydrous may have different solubility/density declarations
• Avoid anti-caking agents > permitted levels, as excess additives shift to Chapter 38 preparations
