Import Tips & Compliance
• Include technical data sheets confirming closed-cell foam structure and PVC monomer content >95%
• Label shipments clearly as 'cellular PVC sheets' to prevent confusion with rigid boards
• For small sizes ≤38.1cm x 45.7cm, note potential Free (B) treatment under heading 3921 US note
