Import Tips
• Ensure the fabric's weight and composition are clearly documented on the commercial invoice to support classification under 5516.31.00
• Verify that the fabric is not impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics or rubber, as this would exclude it from Chapter 55
• Confirm the fabric is not considered 'made up' under Section XI Note 7, which would shift classification
