Import Tips

• Verify net weight does not exceed 1 kg per unit to qualify under this retail provision; bulk packaging shifts to other headings

• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and adhesive composition details for EPA and customs chemical classification

• Label clearly as 'non-toxic' if applicable to avoid TSCA pre-manufacture notices for craft products
