Import Tips & Compliance

Include certificates of analysis proving LDPE ethylene polymer purity per Chapter 39 subheading rules

Document exact cross-sectional dimensions to exceed 1 mm threshold for monofilament/profile classification

Watch for blending; copolymers below 95% ethylene shift to predominant monomer subheading
