Import Tips
• Conduct weight analysis to confirm >70% plastics; common error is miscalculating laminate ratios
• Label with fiber content per FTC rules if retail-bound; bulk shipments need only HTS declaration
• Avoid pitfalls by specifying 'cellular' structure in invoices to distinguish from non-cellular PVC
