Import Tips
• Verify the product is explicitly molded or pressed from paper pulp, not merely die-cut from sheets, to confirm HTS 4823.70.0020 classification
• Provide lab test reports confirming composition as paper pulp to avoid reclassification under heading 4820 or 4819
• Label products as disposable tableware and include recycling instructions to meet FDA food contact standards for imports
