Import Tips
• Verify the fabric weight exceeds 150 g/m² and lamination is visible to the naked eye to avoid reclassification under Chapter 39
• Provide lab test reports confirming man-made filament composition and nonwoven structure for smooth CBP review
• Ensure documentation distinguishes from rubber-laminated versions, which may shift to Chapter 40 if bonding substance
