Import Tips

• Verify PET film composition via lab testing to confirm classification under 9612.10.90.30; mislabeling as generic ribbon risks reclassification

• Include technical datasheets showing thermal transfer wax coating and PET substrate in import documentation for CBP review

• Avoid common pitfalls like importing in bulk cassettes without declaring as prepared ribbons, which could shift to parts classification
