Import Tips
• Include manufacturing process affidavits confirming mechanical cladding (not plating) to distinguish from Chapter 71 exclusions
• Test for delamination risks during import inspection; non-conforming cladding may lead to base metal reclassification
• Label clearly as semimanufactured to avoid confusion with finished wares under 7114 goldsmiths' articles
