Import Tips
• Confirm low-tack adhesive doesn't alter classification; residue tests help prove it's tape, not decal
• Label as 'transparent' explicitly; any tint may reclassify to office machine tape under 3919.90.50.60
• Avoid shipping cut-to-shape pieces, which become 3919.90.80 self-adhesive shapes
