Import Tips & Compliance

• Include certificates of analysis confirming ≥95% ethylene polymer content to comply with subheading rules

• Measure and document the largest side precisely, as CBP may inspect for size compliance

• Declare as 'empty' if not pre-filled to avoid agricultural import restrictions on seeds
