Import Tips
• Verify exact volume capacity with manufacturer specs to confirm 11.4-26.6L range; slight deviations may shift to adjacent subheadings
• Include material certificates proving iron/steel composition and absence of linings that could classify as insulated
• Label as 'for conveyance of goods' to avoid misclassification as retail packaging under Chapter 73 alternatives
