Import Tips
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming no lamination or support materials to stay in non-reinforced category
• Declare exact width (typically under 10mm for strips) to distinguish from wider 'film' or 'foil' subheadings
• Watch for customs scrutiny on 'decorative use' claims; include marketing materials as supporting evidence
