Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to confirm textile > plastic sheeting for outer surface, avoiding reclassification
• Ensure HTS description matches invoice exactly, specifying 'insulated' and 'textile outer' to prevent scrutiny
• Prepare for CBP exams on insulation efficacy, as non-functional insulation risks shift to 4202.92.31
