Import Tips
• Verify alloy composition meets subheading definitions (Al > other elements, Fe+Si >0.1%) with mill test certificates to avoid reclassification
• Provide end-use documentation proving lid stock purpose; common pitfall is mislabeling as general sheet stock
• Ensure thickness certification (0.2-6.3mm) and rectangular format; gauge variations can trigger audits
