Import Tips
• Confirm the TPU sheets are noncellular at the time of import, as expanded foam products may be classified under different headings
• Provide technical specifications showing the sheets are precursors for molding, not finished foam articles
• If the sheets are combined with other materials, they may be excluded from this tariff item
