Import Tips
• Document water filtration systems and ensure compliance with FDA bottled water standards if dispensing purified liquids
• Calibrate refrigeration setpoints (typically 4-8°C) and include test reports to confirm 'incorporating refrigerating devices'
• Avoid delays by pre-filing ISF with accurate refrigeration component values, as they impact duty calculations
