Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the non-metallic core composition and aluminum sheet purity to confirm classification under 7616.99.51.20; provide lab test reports if alloyed

Ensure documentation specifies flat-rolled sheets and lamination method (adhesive or core) to avoid reclassification to 7607 sheets
