Import Tips
• Verify product composition to ensure it qualifies as a cream or polish, not a pure wax under 3404; provide lab analysis if requested by customs
• Label containers clearly with contents, usage instructions, and safety warnings to meet CPSC and EPA import requirements
• Avoid misclassification as household cleaners; common pitfall is shipping in bulk without retail packaging
