Import Tips
• Verify aluminum foil thickness excluding backing does not exceed 0.2 mm with lab testing to confirm classification
• Provide material composition certificates showing aluminum content and backing type for customs valuation
• Avoid misclassification as plain foil (7607.11) by documenting the backing material like paper or plastic
