Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide light transmission test data for amber glass to confirm pharma suitability during customs review

• Ensure documentation specifies 'for injectable use only' to prevent classification as perfume vials

• Avoid bulk packaging without pharma end-use declaration to dodge higher general container duties
