Import Tips
• Include CAD drawings or photos proving metal composition to prevent misclassification as plastic goods
• Declare exact alloy type (e.g
• 304 stainless) for accurate valuation and duty assessment
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial parts; retail-ready units stay in Chapter 96
