Import Tips
• Verify exact acetaminophen content and ensure labeling complies with FDA monograph for OTC drugs to avoid reclassification
• Provide certificate of analysis confirming no prohibited substances; common pitfall is insufficient stability data for measured doses
• Check for transdermal forms or mixtures that might shift to other subheadings; retail packing must be under 10 units per package
