Import Tips
• Provide evidence of beading machinery or process to confirm continuous shaping, distinguishing from hand-worked pieces
• Declare length and width specs; friezes over certain dimensions may face length-based duties or reclassification
• Ensure no pre-applied adhesives or coatings that could classify as 'worked' beyond planing/sanding
