Import Tips
• Use GC-MS analysis to prove <1% plasticizer content, critical for non-plasticized classification
• Label shipments clearly as 'primary form resin, non-plasticized' to prevent confusion with finished articles
• Watch for copolymer blends; if >5% other monomers, reclassifies per predominant monomer rule in note (a)(4)
