Import Tips

• Verify clinical trial documentation from an FDA-recognized protocol to confirm placebo status and avoid reclassification as food under Chapter 21

• Ensure labeling specifies 'for clinical trial use only' and includes measured dose quantities to meet Chapter 30 note 6(e) requirements

• Test for predominant starch/foodstuff content (>50% by weight) via lab analysis to prevent customs disputes on nutritional value
