Import Tips

Label molds with cavity count and runner type (hot/cold) for accurate valuation and classification

Obtain ISO 9001 certification for mold quality to streamline FDA-related imports for food packaging

Avoid misdeclaring as 'parts' which could lead to Chapter 84 general rates instead of specific mold duties
