Import Tips
• Verify the plastic coating is visible to the naked eye and document weight per m² to distinguish from chapters 50-55 or 39
• Obtain note 9 to section XI certification from manufacturer for fabrics specified in performance categories like packcloth
• Label fiber content accurately as man-made (nylon) predominant; avoid misclassification as uncoated ripstop
