Import Tips
• Confirm the magnetic stripe is unrecorded at import; if any test data is pre-encoded, it may be classified as recorded
• Provide a product specification sheet showing the high-coercivity stripe and blank state to customs
• Be aware that financial institution encoding occurs after import, so the cards must be unrecorded at the border
