Import Tips

• Confirm the acrylic-resin blend is not visible plastics or rubber, as that would move the product to Chapter 39 or 40

• The 30 g/m² weight must be clearly stated on commercial documents

• If the interlining is cut to shape for apparel, verify it is not considered 'made up' under Section XI Note 7
