Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the foil is 'unworked' as defined in supplementary note 1—if it has been cut to shape, perforated, or coated, it may fall under a different classification
• The thickness of 0.1mm exceeds the 0.15mm threshold for worked foil, so it remains in this item
• Provide documentation that the foil is not cold-formed to support the classification
