Import Tips
• Verify roll width ≤20cm and adhesive application to confirm 3919.10.20.55; measure precisely to avoid reclassification to wider rolls
• Provide lab test reports confirming PVC polymer ≥95% by weight per subheading notes for accurate duty assessment
• Label with material composition and 'flammability rating' if for electrical use to meet safety import standards
