Import Tips

Verify the PVC coating is visible to the naked eye and document weight per square meter to confirm exclusion from chapters 50-55 or 39

Provide lab tests proving man-made fiber content over 50% and PVC as the plastic material for accurate classification

Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'tablecloth fabric' which could shift to heading 3921 if fully plastic-dominant
