Import Tips
• Verify the polyurethane coating is visible to the naked eye and not merely impregnating the fabric without visible change, to avoid reclassification under Chapters 50-55
• Provide lab test reports confirming man-made fiber composition over 50% and polyurethane as the coating material for customs valuation
