Import Tips
• Use validated cold chain logistics; propofol emulsion is light-sensitive and must be protected from freezing
• Provide batch-specific stability data and USP compliance docs to avoid holds at customs
• Label clearly as 'contains propofol' to prevent mix-up with other injectables; watch for DEA scheduling if analogs present
