Product Mixture

Access official HTS codes for customs compliance and tariff classification.

Leverage UNIS’s HTS code database for accurate tariff classification of product mixtures.

- **Storage Size/Dimensions**: Minimum 200 square feet, ideally 20ft x 10ft, with a height clearance of 9 feet. A dedicated area of 15ft x 12ft would allow for efficient flow. - **Storage Conditions**: The storage area must be dry and well-ventilated. Adequate airflow is crucial to prevent dust accumulation and maintain a stable environment. The floor should be level and constructed of a durable, easy-to-clean material like concrete or epoxy. - **Special Handling**: Product mixtures containing fragile components require all items to be individually wrapped in protective padding (bubble wrap, foam peanuts) before storage. Items prone to scratching should be placed in cardboard dividers. Palletized goods should have sufficient bracing to prevent shifting. - **Stacking/Shelving**: Pallet storage is recommended, utilizing 48” high shelving. Items should be stacked no more than 4 pallets high to ensure stability. Consider using interlocking pallet systems for secure stacking. - **Access Requirements**: A standard 12ft wide loading dock with a 10ft door width is required. A minimum clearance of 10ft surrounding the loading dock is necessary for forklift maneuvering. A secondary access door, 8ft wide, should also be available for smaller equipment.

Implement anti-static measures and vibration control for sensitive product mixtures. Use dedicated zones for fragile items.

Adopt reinforced containers and desiccants to protect against moisture and physical damage during transit.

Ensure loading docks meet ISO standards and provide climate-controlled environments for temperature-sensitive mixtures.

Minimize costs through bulk shipping, automated inventory tracking, and optimized storage layouts.
