Import Tips
• Provide barrel blueprints showing traditional cooperage construction with croze and bung hole specifications
• Ensure no plastic liners; lined barrels may be reclassified under plastic articles in Chapter 39
• Declare exact capacity in liters/gallons; discrepancies can trigger audits for capacity-based duty calculations
