Import Tips & Compliance

Verify aluminum purity (alloyed or not) via mill certificates to confirm Chapter 76 classification and avoid reclassification to steel cans

Ensure capacity labeling matches exactly (e.g

1L = 1000ml) on commercial invoice to prevent disputes over subheading 7612.90.10.60

Include lining material details if epoxy-coated; unlined cans may qualify for lower duties under certain FTAs
