Import Tips

Submit manufacturer's technical data sheet specifying exact vinyl acetate percentage to Customs for binding ruling

Avoid common error of declaring as PVC plastisol; plastisols with plasticizers go to different subheadings

Ensure packaging prevents moisture absorption which could trigger reclassification as chemically modified
