Import Tips
• Provide UL or CSA certification proving electrical grade to justify 3919.10.20.20 over general tape categories
• Declare exact polymer composition (e.g
• PVC or rubber resin) accurately, as per Chapter 39 polymer notes on monomer predominance
• Avoid bulk packaging over 20cm width rolls to prevent shift to wider tape subheadings with different rates
