Import Tips
• Verify abrasive grain type (e.g
• aluminum oxide vs. silicon carbide) and grit size in documentation to match HTS description and avoid misclassification
• Ensure paper backing is not reinforced with textiles or other materials; pure paper base qualifies for this heading per Chapter 68 notes
