Import Tips & Compliance
• Include end-use statements for solar applications to qualify for potential duty exemptions or preferences
• Test for metallic impurities (Fe, Al) as exceeding limits may trigger reclassification
• Use proper NAICS codes (334413 semiconductors) for statistical reporting accuracy
