Import Tips
• Confirm the resin is in primary form (flakes, granules, powder) and not further worked
• Verify the ester composition to ensure it is a mixed ester, not a single ester like cellulose acetate
• If the resin contains plasticizers or other additives above 1%, it may be considered a composition, which could affect classification
