Import Tips
• Provide chemical compatibility charts; supports 'chemical transfer' claim without reinforcement misclassification
• Flanges must be permanently attached; bolted-on post-import may require 7307 classification
• Watch for Chapter exclusions; no textile covering allowed for 4009.12 eligibility
