Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify mold specifications match 'blow molds' for plastics to avoid reclassification under injection molds (8480.71)
• Include detailed engineering drawings and end-use certificates for customs valuation and anti-dumping scrutiny
• Ensure compliance with FDA regulations if molds produce food-contact bottles; common pitfall is missing material safety data
