Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify exact capacity measurement (11.4-26.6L) with calibrated tools to avoid misclassification into other subheadings

• Include material certificates confirming iron/steel composition and absence of mechanical/thermal fittings

• Label containers clearly for end-use (e.g

• paint conveyance) to prevent reclassification as household goods
