Import Tips
• Provide USP certificate of analysis; impurities >1% could trigger reclassification or FDA rejection
• Label as 'not for food use' if pharma-only to prevent mixing with food-grade imports
• Check for stabilizer additions; Chapter 29 allows only those necessary for preservation/transport
