Import Tips
• Document as 'fine paint decontamination bar' not abrasive to distinguish from scouring powders in note to 3401
• Include lab analysis showing non-waxy character to avoid 3404 reclassification
• Package with application mitts only if sold separately to prevent set classification issues
