Import Tips
• Verify textile fiber content via lab testing to confirm man-made fibers predominate, as required for this subheading
• Provide manufacturer specs showing vulcanized rubber construction and food-contact compliance (e.g
• FDA standards)
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no metal reinforcements, which could shift to other headings
