Import Tips

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
