Import Tips
• Provide Certificate of Analysis confirming purity ≥98% and USP compliance to verify classification as unmixed folic acid
• Include FDA Drug Master File or DMF reference for pharmaceutical-grade imports to expedite customs clearance
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 'folate calcium salt' which requires verification of exact chemical form
