Import Tips
• Certify compliance with OSHA and NEC requirements for electrical safety to support classification and avoid penalties
• Use invoices specifying 'electrical insulation tape' and plastic material (e.g
• PVC) to prevent downgrading to general-purpose tape
• Watch for copolymer blends; if no single monomer predominates per Chapter 39 notes, it may shift to 'Other' subheadings
