Import Tips
• Include photos or diagrams showing straight saw cuts to prove 'merely cut' status during customs inspection
• Check supplier certificates for origin to qualify for preferential tariffs under trade agreements
• Avoid bundling with mortar or adhesives, as that could trigger set classification under different headings
