Import Tips
• Declare exact polymer content (e.g
• vinyl acetate copolymers) to confirm 'other plastics'; blends may shift classification per subheading note (a)
• Ensure product is in rolls/tiles format; bulk sheets risk reclassification as 3920 plates
• Label fire ratings for building code compliance; pitfall is missing origin certificates for preferential duty rates
