Import Tips & Compliance

• Declare intended downstream pharmaceutical use in CBP entry summary to support correct Chapter 29 classification

• Maintain batch traceability documentation linking to cGMP manufacturing standards for audit purposes

• Avoid bulk packaging over 25kg drums; smaller pharma-grade containers reduce contamination risks and classification challenges
