Import Tips

Verify the poncho is made from a single plastic polymer (e.g

polyethylene >95% by weight) per Chapter 39 subheading notes to avoid reclassification as a copolymer

Provide lab test reports confirming plastic composition and waterproofing to CBP, as apparel claims require substantiation

Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'textile' if plastic dominates; include care instructions for plastic garments
