Import Tips
• Include technical data sheets showing flake thickness (<10 microns) and D50 particle size to confirm lamellar classification
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'copper powder' without specifying flake structure, leading to 7406.10 duties
• Certify absence of hazardous contaminants per EPA standards for automotive friction material acceptance
