Import Tips

Submit FTIR spectra confirming thermoset crosslinking potential to support 3911 classification

Avoid blending with thermoplastics over 5%; copolymers may reclassify under predominant monomer rule

Declare as 'not for medical use' if applicable to bypass stricter FDA regs on epoxy imports
