Import Tips
• Provide evidence of opacification process (e.g
• chemical composition) to confirm it's throughout the mass, not surface etched
• Measure sheet dimensions precisely; must be rectangular blocks, not custom cut, to stay in 7004
• Avoid absorbent/reflecting layers unless documented, as they are allowed but must not constitute 'other working'
