Import Tips

Provide detailed salt composition analysis; hydrobromide forms require bromide content verification to distinguish from hydrochloride

Ensure compliance with DEA precursor chemical regulations if applicable; include end-use statement for legitimate pharmaceutical purposes

Avoid bulk packaging over 25kg without anti-caking stabilizers, as additions must not alter general use per chapter note (f)
