Import Tips
• Obtain DEA registration and import permits as codeine phosphate is a controlled substance under US regulations
• Provide certificates of analysis confirming purity and identity to meet FDA pharmaceutical import standards
• Avoid classifying as a finished dosage form; pure chemical imports stay under Chapter 29, not Chapter 30
