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
