Import Tips
• Provide evidence of prior assembly in barrels (photos, invoices) to substantiate 'used' status and prevent reclassification
• Check for metal reinforcements; if present, may shift to Chapter 73 or 83 for mixed material products
• Ensure compliance with ISPM 15 if any heat treatment history affects fumigation declarations
