Import Tips

• Declare exact polyester type (e.g

• PET) and thickness; films over certain gauges may face different valuations

• Ensure FDA compliance if for food contact, with certificates of analysis for polymer purity

• Avoid classifying as 'foil' if thickness exceeds 0.2mm, which could shift to other subheadings
