Import Tips
• Verify polyethylene polymer content exceeds 95% by weight per Chapter 39 notes to avoid reclassification
• Measure all dimensions (length, width, gusset) to confirm within 6-40 inch range; include photos in entry docs
• Label bags clearly as retail carrier bags; watch for anti-dumping duties on PRCBs from certain countries
