Import Tips
• Verify the door is at least 95% PVC by weight per Chapter 39 polymer rules to avoid reclassification as a copolymer
• Include detailed blueprints and material composition certificates to prove it's a finished door unit, not parts
• Check for country-of-origin markings; common pitfall is misclassifying imported assemblies as components under 3926
