Import Tips
• Verify polymer composition via lab testing to confirm it meets 'other' criteria under subheading notes (95%+ monomer content)
• Declare exact width and roll status accurately to avoid misclassification
• Ensure adhesive type is pressure-sensitive, not heat-activated, for proper heading 3919 placement
