Import Tips
• Include pharmacopeia compliance certificates (USP/EP) to confirm identity as a pure hormone derivative
• Avoid anti-dusting agents that could render it suitable for specific non-general use per Chapter 29 note (g)
• Declare exact purity levels to prevent reclassification as mixtures outside Chapter 29 scope
