Import Tips

Measure outer width excluding core flange; ensure documentation shows BOPP polymer predominates per Chapter 39 notes to avoid copolymer misclassification

Provide customs with roll length certifications; tapes over 55m reclassify to 3919.10.20.20, a common audit pitfall

Comply with TSCA for plastic additives; declare if contains plasticizers to align with subheading definitions
