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
