Import Tips
• Verify thickness excluding backing does not exceed 0.2 mm with precise measurements to avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test certificates confirming aluminum purity (at least 99%) and non-alloyed status per chapter notes
• Ensure no further working like printing or embossing; plain rolled sheet only to stay in this subheading
