from Vietnam that could be used to serve food. What approval do we

need to make sure that the product is safe to touch food and clear

FDA and customs?

***It will clear customs if it clears FDA... so the trick is the FDA. The
FDA tests some 20% of ceramics for lead, and fails about 25%...meaning a whole
lot gets past them... but don't run the risks... get samples of what you'll
bring in, and have your broker run them past the FDA...

Now, it is not unknown that samples are 'lead-free" but production is
"lead-laden" so we get back to know your supplier and know them to be first
rate.***

My other question is we have a line of bottle opener products...this

line would be quite different, is there anything to be aware of by

setting up two lines?
