Import Tips
• Document textile composition percentage (>50% for outer surface) with mill certificates to support classification over plastic alternatives
• Label clearly as 'insulated food/beverage bag' on packaging and invoices to meet 4202 criteria and prevent downgrade to textile furnishings
• Check for anti-dumping duties on specific nylon textiles from certain origins like China or Vietnam
