Import Tips
• Include acoustic performance specs if marketed for sound applications to support end-use declarations
• Ensure plies meet thickness limit (≤6mm each); measure and document during customs inspection
• Label clearly as 'not surface covered' to prevent reclassification; common pitfall is minor coatings
