• Include foundry certificates proving cast aluminum composition and absence of prohibited finishes during customs entry
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests commercial use; retail-ready presentation supports household article classification
• Test for lead content in any handles or rivets to comply with FDA import regulations for food-contact surfaces
