FDA applies different regulatory pathways depending on intended use: pharmaceutical-grade pyridoxine must meet drug cGMP requirements, while dietary supplement ingredient shipments fall under dietary supplement cGMP rules. Importers should clearly document intended use and applicable pharmacopeial or food-grade specifications at entry to avoid detention or refusal.
