Import Tips
• Include species-specific usage instructions and veterinary prescription labeling to distinguish from human pharmaceuticals
• Test for potency uniformity in measured doses; customs may require batch certificates to confirm retail-ready status
• Avoid generic 'antibiotic' claims without specifying veterinary end-use to prevent Chapter 28 chemical classification
