Suggestions and Notes for Filing
(a) Appearance description is an essential element for HS codes 3901 to 3914 and cannot be omitted. (b) "Composition content" and "types and proportions of monomer units" should be clearly distinguished. (c) Base material source should be selected from the four provided options for declaration. (d) Brand name should be declared in Chinese or foreign language. (e) Material should be declared according to the actual product. (f) The specifications and dimensions should be filled in according to the form of the goods, and should not be simply marked as "no specifications".
