Import Tips
• Verify exact polymer composition via lab testing to confirm polycarbonate predominance per subheading notes; ensure sheets measure over 0.25mm thickness to avoid Chapter 39 film/foil distinctions
• Provide manufacturer specs showing non-laminated, non-reinforced status to prevent reclassification
