Import Tips
• 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
