Import Tips
• Test for monomer predominance (e.g
• >95% for named polymer per Chapter notes) to support plastic heading
• Avoid bundling with pulleys at import to prevent set classification; declare as individual belting
• Check for ozone resistance labeling if industrial; pitfall is incorrect country-of-melt declaration for polymers
