Import Tips
• Ensure the coating is visible to the naked eye, as fabrics where the coating cannot be seen may be classified elsewhere
• Declare the weight per square metre and the specific plastic material used, as this may affect the applicable duty rate
• Keep supplier documentation on the fibre composition to confirm it contains man-made fibres
