Import Tips
• Provide photos or samples showing wooden handle attachment to confirm not a composite material misdeclared as wood
• Label as 'barbecue forks' distinctly from table forks if marketed for grilling to match statistical reporting
• Ensure no sharp tines exceeding safety standards; non-compliant items may face FDA or CPSC scrutiny
