Import Tips

• Base form highly sensitive to oxidation; import with nitrogen-flushed packaging and stabilizer declaration per chapter note (f)

• Provide alkaloid identity by NMR/IR; distinguish from noscapine (also 2939.19 but separate suffix)

• Research quantities (<1kg) still require end-user certificates; avoid medicinal claims to prevent 3003 shift
