Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ FDA DMF registration required for APIs; provide impurity profile showing quinoline purity >99%

β€’ Declare phosphate salt formation explicitly; customs applies Chapter 29 note (C) for organic salts

β€’ Avoid pitfall of bulk packaging resembling finished drugs; use industrial drums, not consumer packs
