Import Tips & Compliance
• Import the sheets in flat, uncut form to maintain classification under 3921.11.00
• Provide documentation on the polystyrene content and cellular structure
• Note that biodegradable grades may have additives, but these do not change the tariff classification if the polymer predominates
