Import Tips
• Provide test reports confirming flexibility and magnetic pull strength to substantiate classification
• Label clearly as 'flexible magnets' and avoid generic 'tape' descriptions to prevent misclassification as adhesive tapes
• Watch for bulk vs retail packaging; bulk may face different valuation rules
