Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to prove cotton base exceeds exclusion thresholds for textile dominance
• Label shipments clearly as 'PVC coated cotton textile' and include grammage specs to validate 5903.10 classification
• Watch for common pitfalls like misdeclaration as 'plastic drop cloth' which could trigger chapter 39 duties
