Import Tips

Verify material composition via lab testing to confirm plastic content exceeds 50% for accurate classification

Include detailed assembly diagrams in documentation to prove it's a seat part, not general plastic article

Avoid common pitfall of classifying as unfinished plastic sheets; ensure it's shaped and combined for seat use
