Import Tips
• Specify coercivity level (LoCo/HiCo) and track standards (ISO 7811) in documentation to confirm tariff classification
• Ensure no embedded chips; chip+magstripe cards require separate smart card declaration
• Avoid classifying as 'finished payment cards' - blanks for encoding stay in 8523.21
