Import Tips
• Document thermoforming process parameters to differentiate from injection molds and support 8480.79 classification
• For food-contact molds, provide supplier declarations for mold materials meeting 21 CFR 177 standards
• Use ISPM-15 compliant wooden crates for shipping to avoid fumigation delays at U.S. ports
