Import Tips
• Document manufacturing process as 'drawn' not float to stay in 7004; include thickness gauge reports
• Avoid common error of declaring as 'polished' which implies working and shifts classification
• For bulk imports, ensure packaging prevents breakage and declare gross weight accurately for duties
