Import Tips

• Verify the plate's material composition (e.g

• glass base) and sensitization status via manufacturer specs to confirm HTS classification; ensure temperature-controlled shipping to prevent premature exposure

• Obtain certificates of origin for potential duty reductions and label packages clearly as 'sensitized unexposed photographic dry plates' to avoid inspection delays
