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
