Import Tips
• Provide detailed cladding composition analysis; US Customs may test for alloy content exceeding 1% other elements
• Label as 'plate/sheet' with exact dimensions; pitfall is classification as 'strip' if rolled to narrow widths
• Comply with brazing sheet vacuum packing requirements to prevent oxidation during import
