Import Tips
• Provide lab test confirming BOPP plastic film base (≥95% polypropylene per subheading notes) vs. generic plastic
• Measure core diameter; large industrial cores may trigger different statistical suffix reporting
• Avoid misclassification as 3921.90 (other plastic plates/sheets) by documenting dispenser-ready retail format
