Import Tips
• Verify monomer content exceeds 95% vinyl chloride by weight via lab testing to confirm nonplasticized status
• Provide certificate of analysis showing absence of plasticizers to avoid reclassification
• Ensure packaging labels primary form (pellets/resin) distinctly from compounded products
