Laminated PU Nylon Tricot for Apparel from Japan
Laminated PU nylon tricot is a lightweight knitted fabric bonded with a thin polyurethane film, making it waterproof and ideal for sportswear linings. The plastic layer is visible to the naked eye and the fabric can be bent without fracturing, meeting the criteria of heading 59.03. It is classified here because it contains man-made fibres and the PU lamination is not merely for reinforcement.

Import Tips
• Ensure the PU layer is visible without magnification and the fabric bends around a 7 mm cylinder at room temperature to avoid reclassification to Chapter 39
• Keep technical specifications, including plastic weight percentage, ready for CBSA officers
• Verify whether the fabric is considered 'made up' under Section XI Note 7, which would exclude it from this heading
