Import Tips
• Verify textile composition via lab testing to confirm vegetable fibers like cotton exceed other fibers by weight over 50%
• Provide detailed invoices specifying plastic type, textile weight predominance, and total areal density under 1.492 kg/m²
• Avoid misclassification as pure textile by documenting plastic lamination as essential for function
