Import Tips
• Include safety data sheets (SDS) detailing asbestos percentage; non-compliance leads to customs holds
• Ensure product is declared as 'not mounted' with photos; pitfall is confusing with finished assemblies
• Monitor EU REACH equivalents if transshipping; label as friction material for brakes explicitly
