Import Tips
• Verify the plastic composition meets Chapter 39 polymer classification rules, ensuring predominant monomer content for accurate subheading placement
• Provide documentation confirming the product is solely for bicycle derailleur cables to avoid misclassification into general plastic tubing
• Check for any metal reinforcements, as excessive metal content may shift classification to Chapter 73 or 87
