Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Distinguish from finished frames by declaring as stock material, not household articles

β€’ Test for UV stabilizers; if >5% additives, may shift to 'chemically modified' other subheadings

β€’ Package flat in bulk to avoid 'retail set' classification under 3924 or 3926
