Import Tips
• Include IRB approval or trial registry numbers (e.g
• ClinicalTrials.gov) in import docs to validate recognized clinical trial status
• Package in trial-specific sachets with lot numbers traceable to protocols, avoiding bulk food-like shipments
• Watch for cross-contamination with active ingredients, which could reclassify as mixed medicaments under 3004
