Import Tips

Submit HPLC chromatograms and structural confirmation to verify exact cephalosporin intermediate matching the HTS description

Include DEA precursor documentation if applicable, as beta-lactam derivatives may trigger controlled substance scrutiny

Ensure cold chain documentation (2-8°C) as instability affects classification validity under Chapter 29 solvent notes
