Import Tips

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
