Import Tips
• Provide FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine approval numbers and stability data in import filings
• Ensure labeling specifies veterinary use only to prevent reclassification as human drugs
• Watch for common pitfall of bulk packaging which shifts to other subheadings without retail forms
