Import Tips
• Include lab analysis showing polymer solids content and dispersion medium to validate primary form status
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying with paper products; this is the base polymer, not finished coated paper (4802/4811)
• Confirm no plasticizers exceed levels that would invoke 3920.43 definitions for reclassification
