Import Tips
• Include GPC (gel permeation chromatography) results showing molecular weight and composition purity
• Prevent contamination during shipping; mixed polymers trigger predominant monomer reclassification
• For high-volume imports, obtain advance classification ruling specifying exact grade and form
