Import Tips
• Obtain CDC Select Agent permit and ensure all import documentation specifies research-only use to comply with US biosafety regulations
• Provide certificates of analysis confirming purity and absence of live contaminants; common pitfall is inadequate chain-of-custody records
• Declare exact quantity and intended prophylactic purpose to avoid reclassification as a hazardous waste under different chapters
