Import Tips
• Test for flame retardancy compliance (e.g
• VW-1 standard) and include lab reports to support electrical classification
• Use ISF filings early for tape imports from Asia, noting common delays on polymer content verification
• Separate electrical from packaging tapes in shipments to avoid commingling and reclassification risks
