Import Tips
• Include lining specifications in documentation; unlined cans may require additional chemical compliance checks
• Ensure no mechanical agitators are attached, as that would classify under 7310.29 with equipment
• Test for VOC emissions if importing for US paint market to meet EPA import requirements
