Import Tips
• Ensure the fabric is not impregnated, coated, or laminated with plastics or rubber, as that would shift classification to Chapter 39 or 40
• Verify the metal thread content is not merely metallized yarn of heading 56.05 unless it meets the woven fabric criteria
• Keep commercial invoices detailing fibre composition and metal content to support the tariff classification
