Import Alert # 52-11
Published Date: 10/12/2011
Type: DWPE
Import Alert Name:
"Detention Without Physical Examination of Enamelware from Shanghai Light Industrial Products and Intensified Coverage of Enamelware from All Other Sources in the People's Republic of China"
Reason for Alert:
In October and November 1991, San Francisco district analyzed a sample of enamelware dishes with "Bumper Harvest" pattern. Laboratory analyses revealed cadmium levels ranging from 0.55 ppm to 0.71 ppm.
The MOU with the Peoples Republic of China specifically covers houseware items known as "ceramicware." Enamelware is produced by a different process than items commonly known as ceramicware. Therefore all recommendations for detention of enamelware should be submitted to ***CFSAN, DE, Imports (HFS-306)*** for review on a case by case basis.
