Import Tips
• Verify aluminum purity and lining material to confirm classification under 8309.90.0025; plastic-lined caps may shift to Chapter 39
• Include detailed packaging specs and end-use declaration to avoid misclassification as closures for general containers
• Ensure tamper-evident features are documented, as they distinguish from simple lids
