Import Tips
• Provide analytical specs showing >96% purity to distinguish from mixtures excluded by Chapter 29 notes
• For feed-grade imports, obtain AAFCO certification to prevent reclassification as animal feed preparations
• Avoid common pitfall of shipping in retail packs; bulk only to maintain Chapter 29 unmixed status
