Import Tips

• Verify plastic coating weight exceeds 60% via lab testing; retain certificates for CBP review

• Declare as 'fabrics specified in note 9' to avoid misclassification under uncoated 5407

• Ensure no finishing operations push it into Chapter 59; common pitfall is under-declaring coating
