Import Tips
• Verify cellular structure via density testing (<0.96 g/cm³) to confirm classification under 3921.12 vs non-cellular 3920.12
• Provide detailed monomer composition certificates showing ≥95% vinyl chloride units per subheading note (a)(1)
• Avoid misclassification as rigid PVC sheet (3921.12.1100) by documenting foam expansion process
