Import Tips
• Verify PVC monomer content exceeds 95% by weight to confirm classification under 3917.32 per subheading notes
• Provide material safety data sheets (MSDS) to prove absence of reinforcements or other materials
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring with fittings, which shifts to 3917.40 and incurs different duties
