Import Tips
• Include stability data and sterility test results; polymyxins are heat-sensitive and require specific storage declarations
• Declare exact potency (IU/mg) per USP standards to prevent undervaluation disputes at customs
• Confirm not for immediate retail sale; bulk API status prevents shift to Chapter 30 medicaments
