Import Tips

Distinguish from finished electrodes by absence of metal foils; document as 'bare active material sheets'

Check for Section 301 tariffs on Chinese-origin battery materials; consider country-of-melt certifications

Ensure packaging prevents sheet delamination during transit; use rigid containers for flat goods
