Import Tips
• Confirm it's in bar/molded form; powdered versions risk reclassification to scouring powders in 3405.40
• Provide proof of water-solubility if questioned under soap definitions in Chapter 34 notes
• Package securely to prevent melting during transit; inspect for customs holds on animal-derived ingredients
