Import Tips & Compliance

• Certify compliance with US safety standards (FMVSS 581) via lab reports to expedite FDA/CBP review

• Separate steel and plastic components in entry docs if imported unassembled to optimize duties

• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial use; retail-ready units stay in 8708
