Import Tips
• Provide engineering drawings highlighting tin construction to distinguish from cheaper alternatives
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests commercial use; retail-ready units stay in household category
• Test for tin content via spectrometry if challenged; impurities over limits reclassify as alloy or other metal
