Import Tips
• Document filament type (e.g
• glass) and tensile strength specs to substantiate 3919.90.50.20 classification during entry
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'strapping' without adhesive details, which could misclassify to 3926.90
• Comply with FDA regs if for food-contact packaging by certifying filament materials as safe
