Import Tips
• Verify the outer surface is primarily plastic sheeting per Chapter 42 notes; reinforced corners don't change classification
• Include detailed material composition in commercial invoice to avoid reclassification to textile-covered headings
• Ensure 'structured, rigid on all sides' via engineering specs; flexible lids may shift to 4202.12.21.40
