Import Tips
• Obtain FDA compliance certification for food contact materials, including migration tests for kaolin coating
• Document exact coating composition (kaolin only, no organics > permitted levels) to substantiate 4810 classification
• Avoid common pitfall of shipping pre-printed sheets, which may trigger 4819 reclassification and higher scrutiny
