Import Tips
• Provide detailed plating thickness specs and weight percentages to prove 'silver' status under notes 5-7
• Package as a complete set with matching design; loose packing risks classification as parts under 7114.19
• Comply with FDA food contact rules for silver tableware, including migration testing certificates
