Import Tips
• 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
