Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Architectural tubing often requires anodizing finish documentation; declare as extruded tube, not profile if hollow

โ€ข Check if T5 or T6 temper affects classification; remains 7608.20.00 regardless of heat treatment

โ€ข Bulk shipments need proper strapping/packaging declarations to prevent damage claims
