Import Tips
• Provide FDA-compliant material certifications for the mold's contact surfaces to prevent reclassification or additional regulatory scrutiny
• Document mold cavity volumes and compression ratios to distinguish from transfer or injection types during customs review
• Avoid common pitfalls by labeling molds clearly as 'for rubber only' to prevent errors with plastic mold headings
