Import Tips
• Verify net weight does not exceed 1 kg per unit and confirm retail packaging with consumer labeling to avoid reclassification
• Provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and composition details, as adhesives may trigger TSCA or CPSC regulations
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as industrial bulk; ensure invoices specify 'retail glue' to prevent duty upgrades
