Import Tips & Compliance

Verify filament reinforcement (e.g

glass or polyester) and tape width ≤20 cm to confirm classification under 3919.10.20.10; measure precisely to avoid reclassification

Provide lab test reports on plastic composition (e.g

BOPP base) and adhesive type for CBP review; ensure 'self-adhesive' labeling on invoices
