Import Tips & Compliance

Document optical properties and flame test results to distinguish from flexible films in 3920.53

Ensure import invoices specify 'non-flexible sheets' to match subheading language exactly

Beware of chemical modification levels; per notes, these go to 'Other' if not pure PMMA
