How to choose the right subheading

Check whether the foil is backed with paper, paperboard, plastics or similar material, because backed foil falls in 7607.20.
Measure thickness excluding any backing: up to 0.01 mm, over 0.01 mm to 0.15 mm, or over 0.15 mm to 0.2 mm.
Decide whether the foil is rolled but not further worked or has other working such as etching or cutting to shape.
For can stock, identify whether it is body stock or lid stock.
For cut foil, confirm the thickness is not over 0.15 mm for the cut-to-shape line.
