Import Tips
• Specify bottle loading mechanism (top/bottom) in docs; bottom-loaders have higher child safety compliance
• Include ADA compliance certification for pedestal height/accessibility in commercial imports
• Watch for anti-dumping duties if manufactured in specific Asian countries – check Commerce scope rulings
