Import Tips
• Include pharma-grade certifications and thickness test reports to confirm compliance with subheading specs
• Avoid classifying as backed if minimal coating is present; document as unbacked to stay in 7607.11
• Check for alloy content; pharma foil must qualify as non-alloyed aluminum per chapter notes
