Import Tips
• Include technical specs confirming >95% vinyl chloride monomer content to meet polymer classification rules
• Ensure invoice details specify 'cellular' structure to prevent downgrade to 3921.90 other plastic sheets
• Check for REACH compliance if importing from EU, as PVC often contains regulated phthalate plasticizers
