Import Tips
• Certify bend test compliance (around 7mm cylinder at 15-30°C) to prove not rigid plastic of chapter 39
• Use detailed invoices specifying 'coated textile fabric' vs. 'plastic sheeting' to prevent reclassification
• Watch for partial coating designs that might revert to chapter 54 if not predominantly functional coating
