Import Tips

Verify monomer content exceeds 95% by weight via lab analysis to confirm homopolymer status per subheading note (a)(1)

Provide certificate of analysis (COA) documenting primary form (pellets/resin) and no chemical modification

Avoid misclassification as copolymer by ensuring predominant monomer documentation
