Import Tips
• Ensure the PVC layer is visible to the naked eye; if only a colour change is apparent, the fabric may be classified in Chapters 50–55
• Keep samples or technical documentation showing the PVC weight percentage exceeds 70% to avoid misclassification
• If importing finished ponchos, the tariff item will differ from this fabric heading
