Import Tips & Compliance

Verify plastic content exceeds 70% by weight via lab testing; maintain certificates for Customs review

Ensure textile component documentation confirms man-made fibers predominate over cotton or others

Avoid misclassification as Chapter 59 by proving plastic layer is primary component, not mere coating
