Import Tips & Compliance

Include material composition certificates (e.g

nylon vs. other plastics) to confirm classification and avoid shifts to Chapter 39

Ensure sliders are entered separately from chains or tapes; bundled imports risk reclassification as complete fasteners

Check for pull tab presence in descriptions, as 'with or without pulls' is specified, but note any precious metal accents per Chapter 96 rules
