Import Tips
• NSF/ANSI food safety certification recommended for sap contact; document maple species and kiln drying
• Capacity must be measured brimful; buckets under 20 gallons typically avoid larger vessel regulations
• Include spile compatibility specs; traditional 5/16" or 7/16" hole size proves specialized sap use
