Import Tips
• Provide sponsor's clinical trial protocol and IRB approval to customs for verification of blinded trial use
• Avoid retail packaging; use trial-specific labeling to maintain 3006 classification over general confections
• Watch for sugar crystallization during import; improper storage can alter dry weight measurements
