Import Tips
• Verify aluminum purity meets chapter definitions (alloyed or unalloyed) via mill certificates to avoid misclassification
• Provide detailed capacity measurements and confirm no mechanical fittings; common pitfall is overlooking heat insulation declarations
• Label for end-use (paint/cosmetics) and ensure FDA compliance if for food/cosmetic contact
