Import Tips
• Ensure the PVC coating is visible without magnification and the fabric can be bent around a 7 mm cylinder without breaking, as per chapter note 2
• Declare the man-made fibre content and plastic percentage by weight to confirm classification under 5903.90.20
• If the awning fabric is cut and assembled into a finished awning, it may fall under Chapter 63 as a made-up article
