Import Tips
• Validate granule solubility (>90% in 30min) per label claims to avoid 3824 mixture classification
• Include veterinary prescription drug labeling even for bulk; state law varies by destination
• Monitor particle size (80% <100μm) which affects dispersion and potential reclassification
