Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Label as 'bamboo tableware' clearly; mislabeling as generic wood risks inspection delays

โ€ข Ensure smooth, food-safe finish to meet FDA import standards for direct food contact

โ€ข Avoid sets with spoons unless separately classified to prevent 'other' subheading shift
