Import Tips
• Document the molding process certificate to prove one-piece construction, as multi-part assembly moves it to other 6402.99 subheadings
• Conduct surface area measurements excluding accessories to confirm >90% plastics compliance
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no foxing band overlaps, which would require 6402.99.31 classification
