Import Tips & Compliance

Provide biotech origin documentation (e.g

GMO status if recombinant) to comply with USDA APHIS biotech regulations

Label shipments with UN number for biological substances if applicable, and include stability data to prevent inspection delays

Verify enzyme specificity via lot-specific assays, as CBP may test for correct classification against generic enzymes
