Risk alert

- Item 02
Cracked safety helmets
Helmets stacked too high crack. Control stacking by the number per carton.
- Item 03
Liquids and sprays mixed in
Insecticides, cleaning products and aerosol cans mixed into household goods and declared as general cargo are a common reason for inspection.
- Item 04
Product names too broad
“One lot of household goods” doesn’t match any HS code, and customs will ask for more information.
