Import Tips
• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) confirming borosilicate composition and expansion coefficient for smooth clearance
• Import in standard lengths to maintain 'unworked' status; custom-cut rods risk reclassification
• Avoid common error of declaring with end-use info that suggests finished products, triggering scrutiny
