Import Tips

• Verify the vinyl chloride polymer content exceeds 95% by weight per subheading notes to avoid reclassification to 'Other' copolymers

• Provide lab test reports confirming cellular structure and textile lamination to Customs for smooth clearance

• Label clearly with material composition to comply with FTC fiber content rules and avoid penalties
