Import Tips
• Document rubber coating as protective only, not altering magnetic function, to maintain magnet classification
• Provide flexibility specs and magnetization instructions to differentiate from rigid block magnets
• Avoid overpacking to prevent coating damage, which could lead to hazardous material declarations
