Import Tips
• Provide lab test reports confirming thickness >2 mm and edge processing to prevent undervaluation disputes
• Label as 'not framed' explicitly; common pitfall is misdeclaration as finished articles
• Check for absorbent/reflecting layers per chapter note (c), which don't affect 7006 classification
