Import Tips
• Declare exact coverage percentage (>50% plastics) with supplier affidavits to support 'wholly or mainly covered' claim
• Check for prohibited fur linings per chapter notes, which would redirect to heading 4303
• Use HTS advisory rulings for hybrid materials to preempt valuation disputes
