Import Tips
• Note that the thin-film coating may be considered an absorbent or reflecting layer, but this does not affect classification under heading 70.18
• Ensure the beads are not mounted or strung into jewelry, which would reclassify them under Chapter 71
• Provide a detailed description of the coating material to avoid CBSA queries
