Import Tips
• Include lab analysis proving kaolin (inorganic) coating only, without binders affecting classification
• Ensure supplier declarations specify use for dishes/plates to support base stock intent
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling weight; precise g/m² measurement prevents higher duty rates
