Import Tips
• Verify aluminum purity meets chapter definitions (non-alloyed or alloyed) via mill certificates to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed packaging specs and capacity measurements in commercial invoice to confirm <300L limit
• Ensure no mechanical sprayers or heaters are attached, as those shift to other headings; common pitfall is misdeclared dispensers
