Import Tips
• Verify stems are natural wood (not synthetic) via supplier certification to avoid reclassification to 3605.00.00.90
• Include safety data sheets confirming non-pyrotechnic nature and child-resistant packaging for compliance
• Label boxes clearly with striking surface instructions to prevent customs holds on mislabeled strike-anywhere types
