Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify foil thickness excluding any backing does not exceed 0.2 mm with lab testing to confirm classification under 7607

• Provide mill test certificates showing aluminum purity (>99% for non-alloyed) and no backing materials

• Avoid misclassification as backed foil (7607.20); declare as 'not backed' explicitly on entry documents
