Import Tips & Compliance

Include FDA compliance statements if for food-contact, though classification remains primary form

Test for intrinsic viscosity to differentiate from lower-grade resins potentially reclassified

Avoid pitfall of declaring as 'preform-ready' if processed, shifting to 3923.30 for articles
