Import Tips

• Verify reinforcement material (e.g

• polyester) does not exceed 50% by weight to avoid reclassification under Chapter 39 plastics

• Include test reports confirming pressure ratings and burst strength for customs valuation and safety compliance

• Label products with country of origin and material composition to prevent pitfalls with CBP fiber content rules
