Import Tips
• Document zinc predominance (<5% nickel, <3% tin) per Chapter 74 note (a) to confirm copper article status
• Separate from machinery shipment to avoid set classification; bill as standalone copper cloth
• Test for lead content compliance with CPSIA if any paper machine contact with food packaging
