Import Tips
• 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
