Import Tips
• Include batch certificates proving the product meets USP standards for disintegration and acid-neutralizing capacity
• Declare exact composition to avoid reclassification; mixtures of antacid salts distinguish from single-ingredient products
• Package securely to prevent breakage in transit, as damaged retail packs may require FDA re-inspection
