Import Tips
• Chiral purity certificate (>99% ee) mandatory; racemic mixtures reclassify under general antibiotics
• Controlled temperature (-20°C) shipping prevents racemization; declare optical rotation [+18° to +20°]
• Research chemical declarations require end-user statements to avoid Schedule H drug controls
