Import Tips
• Verify flame retardant content via lab testing and provide certificates to Customs as these sheets must meet specific subheading criteria
• Label sheets clearly with PMMA composition and flame retardancy standards (e.g
• UL 94) to avoid reclassification during inspection
• Check for any reinforcement or lamination that could shift classification to 3920.52 or 3921
