Import Tips
• Document exact internal volume <20L with engineering drawings; inspections often flag capacity errors
• Confirm no alloy exceeding Chapter 76 limits without declaration; use spectrographic analysis reports
• For art supplies, ensure non-toxic lining certification to prevent REACH or Prop 65 issues
