Import Tips
• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) confirming PVC monomer content >95% to comply with polymer classification rules
• Measure dimensions carefully; boards over 38.1cm x 45.7cm may qualify for special rates but cellular heading takes precedence
• Avoid common error of declaring as 'rigid PVC plate' which shifts to 3920.11; emphasize cellular/foamed nature in invoices
