Import Tips
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) detailing uncured resin status and monomer composition for primary form verification
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying styrene-monomer blends incorrectly; styrene <5% keeps it polyester-dominant
• Confirm not chemically modified beyond base polymer to stay out of generic 'Other' provisions
