Import Tips
• Include detailed material specs showing tin predominance; alloy analysis prevents disputes over 'tin vs steel' classification
• Photograph packaging showing kitchen end-use to support household classification against decorative alternatives
• Check for food-safe compliance (e.g
• no lead); FDA prior notice may apply for kitchen contact items
