Import Tips
• Verify monomer content exceeds 95% by weight via lab testing to confirm classification under 3908.90.70.00
• Provide detailed chemical composition certificates to avoid misclassification as copolymers
• Ensure pellets are in primary form (not compounded) to prevent shifting to Chapter 39 heading 3920
