Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the adhesive's optical clarity specs and end-use certification for flat panel displays to confirm classification under 3506.91.10.00

Include manufacturer datasheets proving use solely or principally in display production to avoid reclassification

Check for proper hazardous material labeling if containing volatile solvents, common pitfall leading to CBP holds
