Import Tips
• Obtain FDA approval and biologics license application (BLA) prior to import as this is a regulated pharmaceutical
• Provide certificates of analysis confirming recombinant DNA origin and bioequivalence to human somatotropin
• Avoid misclassification as general proteins; specify polypeptide hormone function in import documentation
