Import Tips

• Verify weight does not exceed 25 g/m² and confirm impregnation is visible and not solely plastic/rubber to avoid reclassification to Chapter 39

• Provide lab test reports on filament composition and impregnation material for customs valuation and origin determination

• Label as 'imitation suede' if marketed as such to align with statistical note (223) for accurate reporting
