Import Tips
• Verify the outer surface is predominantly plastic sheeting via material composition tests to confirm HTS 4202.12 classification
• Provide detailed photos and cross-sections in entry documentation to prove rigid, structured construction on all sides
• Avoid common pitfalls like declaring as 'leather' if plastic dominates, which shifts to 4202.11 headings
