Import Tips
• Declare exact thickness (<0.5 mm) and width (>600 mm) with gauge measurements to confirm subheading
• Use ISPM-15 compliant packaging for coils to prevent damage claims denial due to rust per Chapter notes
• Avoid misdeclaration as universal mill plate—must be in coils, not cut lengths
