Import Tips
• Obtain food-grade certifications if used for beverages to meet FDA import requirements alongside tariff classification
• Declare exact capacity and alloy type; non-alloyed aluminum must meet 99% purity per chapter notes
• Avoid common pitfall of including trial pumps in shipments, which could trigger reclassification
