Import Tips

• Verify dairy origin with certificates of analysis to comply with FDA food additive regulations and avoid misclassification as a pharmaceutical

• Include detailed protein content and solubility specs in documentation to distinguish from plain casein under 3501.10

• Watch for contamination risks; ensure suppliers provide microbial testing to prevent FDA import alerts
