Import Tips
• Obtain coating specification certificates confirming tin purity and absence of further working like lacquering
• Check for passivation or oiling as allowable; additional organic coatings may classify as 'further worked'
• Declare exact gauge/thickness to distinguish from universal mill plate definitions
