Import Tips
• Ensure USP certification and FDA compliance; provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) documenting purity >98% and l-thyroxine sodium identity
• Include full chemical documentation proving it meets Chapter 29 hormone definition; avoid misclassification as general amino acid
• Verify proper cold chain logistics if required; common pitfall is improper stability testing for transport
