Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'table forks' not 'kitchen tools' to prevent misclassification into Chapter 82
• Provide material safety data sheets for rubber/plastic handles to comply with FDA food contact regulations
• Watch for oversize serving forks; if over 12 inches, may require end-use certification
