Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain FDA approval and provide certificates of analysis confirming purity as a chemically defined hormone derivative
• Ensure proper pharmaceutical labeling and Drug Master File (DMF) registration to avoid classification disputes
• Verify stability data for transport, as Chapter 29 allows stabilizers only for preservation without altering use
