Import Tips
• Obtain FDA approval and ensure NDC labeling for retail sale; verify potency and sterility certificates to meet USP standards
• Provide batch-specific certificates of analysis confirming vancomycin content and absence of prohibited contaminants
• Avoid misclassification by confirming it's unmixed antibiotic, not combined with other actives which would shift to 3004.90
