Import Tips
• Verify the polyurethane coating is visible to the naked eye and document weight per square meter to confirm exclusion from Chapters 39 or 50-55
• Obtain Note 9 certification from manufacturer for Section XI compliance; declare man-made fiber content accurately on entry
• Avoid misclassification as uncoated fabric by providing lab tests showing PU impregnation; watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Asian origins
