Import Tips
• Verify polymer composition via lab testing to confirm ethylene content exceeds 95% by weight per subheading notes
• Provide manufacturer specs showing cross-section >1 mm and surface-worked but not further processed
• Avoid misclassification as finished articles; ensure entry as primary shapes, not end-use products
