Import Tips

• Verify material composition documentation proving graphite or carbon content exceeds 50% to avoid reclassification to metal tripods

• Include test reports certifying carbon material properties for customs valuation and anti-dumping scrutiny

• Label products clearly as 'graphite/carbon tripod' and avoid generic 'tripod' markings that could trigger Chapter 90 scrutiny
