Import Tips
• Use detailed photos in entry docs showing spiral strip seams to prove compliance with 'assembling strips' criterion
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; declare full value including any pre-treatments that enhance durability
• Ensure no blocking wires or forms are included, as that triggers 6504 classification
