Import Tips & Compliance

• Detail lining composition and thickness in specs; epoxy or phenolic linings are common and explicitly allowed

• Include UN/DOT certification if for hazmat, as aluminum drums often require it for liquids

• Avoid declaring as 'alloyed' without test reports; pure aluminum (>99%) has different implications
