Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide lab test reports confirming polypropylene (3902.10) content exceeds 95% by weight per subheading notes to avoid 'other' classification

• Label products clearly as 'plastic ladders' and include assembly instructions if shipped knocked-down

• Check for country-of-origin marking requirements; ladders over 300 lbs may trigger additional structural integrity declarations
