Import Tips & Compliance

Verify INCI ingredient lists comply with FDA cosmetic labeling requirements and include them on commercial invoices to avoid CBP scrutiny

Obtain Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for active ingredients like pyrithione zinc to prove it's a shampoo, not a drug, preventing misclassification

Check for Free Trade Agreement eligibility (e.g

USMCA) as many shampoo formulations qualify for reduced duties with proper origin documentation
