Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare the tubes as aluminum alloy tubes, not as greenhouse structures, unless they are part of a complete kit
• Keep alloy documentation to support 6061 classification
• If the tubes are cut to length with holes or brackets, they may be classified as parts of structures
