• Provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and pharmacopoeial compliance (USP/EP) documentation to verify purity and quinoline structure for customs classification

• Ensure DEA registration if quinidine is controlled; declare exact chemical identity to avoid reclassification under pharmaceutical headings
