Import Tips
• Declare exact ethylene content (>95%) with supplier certifications to comply with subheading notes on polymer purity
• Use ISF filings early for bag shipments; common pitfall is undervaluation based on low unit price
• Label bags as 'merchandise packing' not 'trash' to prevent erroneous duty assignment to statistical suffixes
