Import Tips
• Document substrate composition showing plastics fully impregnating glass fibers to comply with backing requirements
• Label clearly as 'single-sided' and measure foil thickness accurately to prevent duty reassessment
• Avoid shipping etched boards; plain laminates only under this code—processing changes classification
