Import Tips
• Provide plating bath specifications and PCB production line diagrams to substantiate 'solely for printed circuits' classification
• Check for material certifications (e.g
• titanium purity) as required for electrochemical apparatus under HTS rules
• Avoid misclassification by excluding units adaptable for general metal plating industries
