Import Tips & Compliance

Ensure strip thickness qualifies as 'strip' (not film over 0.25mm) per general HTS rules for shapes

Package in consumer units (e.g

100yd spools) to meet 'put up for' criterion; bulk shifts classification

Test for plasticizer content if flexible, noting subheading 3920.43 definitions don't apply here
