Import Tips
• Submit coating weight certificates (typically 90-120 mg/m² chromium) to CBP for classification confirmation
• Avoid common error of declaring as tinplate; ECC lacks tin's sacrificial corrosion protection
• Document end-use if for food contact to address FDA compliance alongside tariff classification
