Import Tips
• Verify the plastic coating exceeds 60% by weight via lab testing to confirm HTS 5903.10.15.00 classification
• Provide coating specifications and fiber content documentation to avoid reclassification to chapters 50-55
• Ensure the PVC coating is visible to the naked eye; invisible treatments shift to uncoated fabric headings
