Import Tips
• Verify polymer composition meets 95% ethylene monomer requirement via lab testing to avoid reclassification
• Ensure FDA compliance for food contact with certificates of analysis; common pitfall is missing migration test data
• Declare thickness and width accurately; films over certain gauges may shift to other subheadings
