Import Tips
• Provide FTIR or NMR test reports proving vinyl chloride predominance per subheading note (a)(4)
• Declare as 'primary form' explicitly; compounded products risk reclassification to Chapter 39 other headings
• Check for REACH-like compliance docs if from EU, as US CBP may scrutinize chemical imports
