Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide certificates of analysis confirming purity and quinoline structure to avoid reclassification under Chapter 30 finished pharmaceuticals
• Ensure DEA registration if importing quantities subject to controlled substance regulations, as quinidine is a Schedule IV drug
• Label shipments clearly as 'pharmaceutical reference standard' to prevent customs confusion with finished dosage forms
