Import Tips

• Provide photos and specs showing casters for floor use to distinguish from counter-top organizers

• Ensure FDA compliance labeling if food-contact surfaces are present, as plastic kitchen items often require it

• Avoid bulk packaging; retail-ready units prevent reclassification as parts under 9403.90
