Import Tips
• Verify the base is wholly impregnated paper via material certification to meet subheading 8534.00.00.50 criteria; paper substitutes may shift classification
• Include detailed PCB layer diagrams and base composition test reports in documentation to prevent customs holds
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as flexible PCBs, which fall under different subheadings and lower duties
