What to look at for this product
If your baby suction plate touches food, ask your factory for a written food contact material guaranty identifying the materials used for the finished plate.
If your plate has separate food contact components, ask your supplier to identify each component's material in the written guaranty covering the product you're importing.
If your plate comes with a sippy cup, ask your factory for the cup's material specification so you check whether it uses polycarbonate with BPA.
If your plate bundle includes a bottle nipple, ask your supplier for nitrosamine testing evidence identifying the nipple supplied in the feeding set you're ordering.
If your plate is being prepared for import, you'll need the accepted lab report covering that plate to support the children's product certificate you'll issue.
