Import Tips & Compliance

• Bioequivalence certificates help prove therapeutic equivalence to reference drugs for faster approval

• Maintain cold chain documentation if suspension requires refrigeration post-manufacture

• Avoid declaring as 'juice' or beverage; Chapter 30 note 1(a) excludes such misclassifications
