Import Tips

• Submit Drug Master File (DMF) reference and FDA import alert screening; critical for API classification

• Provide HPLC chromatograms confirming l-isomer purity; racemic mixtures may alter classification

• Declare exact CAS 25416-49-1; mislabeling as generic 'thyroxine' risks reclassification
