Import Tips
• Document polystyrene as the predominant polymer (>95% by weight) following subheading notes to avoid 'other' classification
• Include photos and specs in entry docs showing frame-only import, not with glazing or photos to stay in 3924.90.20
• Watch for pitfalls in multi-material frames; if metal predominates, it may classify under Chapter 73 as iron/steel articles
