Import Tips

Submit lab analysis reports proving vinyl acetate as the weight-predominant monomer for 3905 classification

Label primary forms clearly (pellets/powder) to avoid confusion with compounded articles in Chapter 39 headings

Check for plasticizer content if applicable, as it affects related subheadings like 3920.43
