Import Tips
• Secure advance DEA import quota approval; failure to do so results in immediate seizure at ports
• Provide analytical COA and reference standards matching USP specifications to expedite FDA clearance
• Label shipments clearly as 'Controlled Substance - Schedule II' to prevent processing delays
