Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the plastic layer exceeds 0.15mm thickness and is non-porous to meet Chapter 39 note 9; provide lab test reports if requested by CBP
• Declare exact plastic type (e.g
• PVC) and textile composition on entry docs; mismatches can lead to reclassification under 5905 for coated textiles
• Ensure invoice specifies 'wall covering' use, not decorative paper, to avoid pitfalls with heading 4814
