Import Tips

Include chemical analysis showing predominant vinyl chloride monomer (>95% per notes) to prevent copolymer misclassification

Measure and document all cross-sectional dimensions exceeding 1 mm; samples may be requested by customs

Avoid bundling with fittings, as that could invoke 3917 free rate restrictions
