Import Tips
• Document food-contact compliance (FDA 21 CFR 177) with supplier declarations to clear agricultural inspections
• Measure micron thickness accurately; bags over certain gauges may reclassify as 'other packaging'
• Avoid declaring as 'disposable' if reusable design, as this affects environmental duty exemptions
