Import Tips
• Declare exact thickness and cellular density to confirm 'plates, sheets, foil, strip' status vs. profiles in 3926.90
• Include manufacturer specs showing no chemical modification beyond base polymer to stay in 3921.14
• Watch for set classification if imported with fittings, potentially qualifying for free rates under 3917 US note
