Import Tips
• Verify propylene content exceeds 95% by weight via lab testing to meet subheading note (a)(1) for accurate classification
• Provide material safety data sheets (MSDS) confirming rigidity and pressure ratings to avoid reclassification as flexible hoses
• Note that fittings are excluded; import them separately under relevant subheadings to claim Free (C) rates if applicable
