Import Tips
• Obtain FDA equivalence documentation and food-contact certifications during customs entry
• Detail belt construction to prove it's belting for machinery, not flexible tubing under 3917
• Ensure polymer purity meets 95% monomer threshold per Chapter 39 notes to avoid 'other' copolymer classification
