Import Tips
• Attach VA content percentage (<5%) from manufacturer to confirm subheading eligibility
• Specify 'primary form, not compounded' on entry docs to prevent shift to finished adhesive headings
• Check for plasticizer content; per note, plasticizers affect 3920 but not primary polymer classification
