Import Tips
• Provide milk contact test reports confirming FDA/USDA approval for animal-derived food safety
• Label with exact material specs (e.g
• nitrile rubber) and replacement intervals to distinguish from general rubber goods
• Avoid common pitfalls by declaring as 'milking-specific' rather than generic liners to prevent Chapter 40 reclassification
