Import Tips
• Include lab test reports confirming >95% acrylic monomer content to comply with polymer classification in Chapter 39
• Label clearly as 'rigid tubes' not flexible hoses to prevent misclassification into 3917.31-3917.39
• Avoid bundling multiple pieces as sets exceeding effective length; import individually to stay under 200 mm limit
