Import Tips
• Include end-use statements if for specific appliances, though classification remains material-based not use-based
• Test for VOC content in coatings to preempt environmental compliance issues at entry
• Label coils/sheets clearly with HTS, coating specs to facilitate CBP exam without unpacking
