Import Tips
• Comply with FDA cosmetic colorant regulations (21 CFR 74.1705); include microbial testing results in entry docs
• Use tamper-evident packaging and declare 'cosmetic grade' to facilitate FDA review without delays
• Avoid classifying as 'drug color' if solely for cosmetics; dual-use risks higher scrutiny
