Import Tips
• Include FDA compliance docs for food contact; test for PET purity to meet 95% threshold avoiding copolymer reclassification
• Specify vacuum metallization process in invoices to distinguish from laminated films under 3920.63
• Avoid bulk packaging confusion; rolls over 38.1cm width ineligible for certain free rates per US notes on similar headings
