Import Tips
• Verify the outer ply is indeed plastic sheeting lamination to avoid reclassification under non-laminated subheadings
• Provide lab tests confirming polypropylene strip composition and printing with 3+ colors for customs clearance
• Ensure sacks are not warp knit fabrics treated with specified insecticides, as those fall under 6304.20
