Import Tips & Compliance

• Include detailed composition analysis and stability testing data; common pitfall is rejection due to missing bioequivalence certificates

• Ensure child-resistant packaging for retail OTC status to prevent reclassification as bulk

• Declare as 'finished dosage form' to distinguish from API powders
