Import Tips
• Provide Certificate of Analysis confirming purity >98% and synthetic origin to avoid misclassification as natural extract
• Ensure USP/EP grade certification for pharmaceutical imports; FDA prior notice required for food additive use
• Declare exact caffeine content per kg; common pitfall is under-declaring leading to duty evasion penalties
