Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Declare exact polyester type (e.g
β’ PET) and thickness; films over certain gauges may face different valuations
β’ Ensure FDA compliance if for food contact, with certificates of analysis for polymer purity
β’ Avoid classifying as 'foil' if thickness exceeds 0.2mm, which could shift to other subheadings
