Import Tips
• Ensure hinges meet load-bearing specs in specs sheet to classify as door fittings, not lighter cabinet hardware
• Label with country of origin and material (e.g
• carbon steel) to comply with CBP marking requirements
• Avoid common pitfall of bulk packaging without retail labeling, which may trigger formal entry requirements
