Import Tips
• Include cross-section photos or samples proving lamination bonding and visibility to customs for proper 5903 classification
• Ensure product bends manually around a 7mm cylinder without fracturing to distinguish from rigid Chapter 39 plastics
• Avoid partial designs from coating that could revert classification to base fabric chapters
