Import Tips
• Declare wood species accurately (olive wood) for APHIS inspection; misdeclaration leads to quarantines
• Specify 'table serving fork' on commercial invoice to differentiate from barbecue or tool types
• Test for lead/chromium in stainless steel if food-contact; provide test reports proactively
