Import Tips
• Disclose exact antimicrobial agent composition in entry docs to comply with Chapter 30 mixing notes and avoid chemical classification
• Ensure USP-compliant sterility testing; common pitfall is expired validation leading to CBP detention
• Bundle with invoices showing retail pricing to affirm 'for retail sale' status
