Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'windows and frames' with dimensions to prevent confusion with door thresholds under the same heading
• Obtain pre-shipment approval for aluminum content via lab tests if disputing alloy vs pure aluminum classification
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on extrusions from specific countries like China
