Import Tips
• Include detailed layer composition (core vs cladding) in commercial invoice to substantiate clad classification
• Test for food-contact safety compliance (e.g
• FDA standards) even if not final product, to prevent CBP holds
• Declare exact thickness gauge to differentiate from thinner foil or strip products
