Import Tips & Compliance

• Test for chemical modification per subheading notes; unmodified PVC stays in specific subheading

• Provide photos/swatches of imitation finish with entry docs for CBP verification

• Avoid bulk packaging confusion—declare as sheets/foil, not articles, to prevent 3926 shift
