Import Tips
• Use technical data sheets showing mica content >50% to defend against reclassification as plastic products
• Label shipments clearly as 'insulation sheets' not 'articles' to prevent shift to higher-duty 6814.90
• Prepare for inspections verifying no metallic inclusions that could classify as Chapter 71 composites
