Import Tips
• Verify the coating qualifies as an 'absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer' per chapter note (c) with lab test reports to avoid reclassification
• Ensure sheets are surface ground or polished but not otherwise worked (e.g
• no drilling or edging) to stay in 7005; provide mill certificates
