Import Tips
• Verify food-grade certification like FDA compliance for direct food contact materials to avoid CBP holds
• Include detailed material composition (e.g
• 18/8 stainless steel) on invoices to confirm classification
• Watch for misclassification as parts if sold without retail packaging; ensure household use labeling
