Import Tips
• Obtain DEA registration and import permit due to ephedrine's controlled substance status; include Form 236 in documentation
• Provide certificates of analysis confirming ephedrine salt content and pharmaceutical grade purity to avoid misclassification
• Watch for FDA prior notice requirements and ensure retail packing to prevent reclassification as bulk chemicals
