Import Tips
• Include spectroscopic data (NMR, MS) to verify chemical structure and stereochemistry during customs review
• Declare exact enantiomeric composition (DL vs L-form) to prevent reclassification under amino acid headings
• Check REACH compliance if transshipping through EU for chemical safety documentation
