Import Tips
• Provide manufacturing process details showing textile as primary component with PVC as coating, not vice versa
• Test for manual bendability around 7mm cylinder to confirm exclusion from chapter 39 plastic products
• Use precise terminology in entry docs to differentiate from 'vinyl tablecloth' which implies plastic primacy
