If the textile layer imparts essential character and PVC is a coating under 0.3mm thick, it shifts to Chapter 59 textile coatings.
If natural fibers predominate in textile
Products where cotton or other natural fibers outweigh man-made fibers in the textile component classify under the natural fiber subheading.
