Import Tips
• Include technical datasheets proving ME coating is magnetic media for video, distinguishing from non-magnetic plastics
• Customs may require samples for width verification; prepare with calibrated measurement reports
• Watch for partner country origin rules; tape components from multiple sources need proper marking
