Import Tips
• Include detailed monomer breakdown from manufacturer to prove acrylic predominance per HTS subheading notes
• Label shipments clearly as 'primary form polymers' to distinguish from finished paints (Chapter 32)
• Watch for REACH compliance if originating from EU; mismatches can trigger reclassification
