Import Tips
• Verify the plastic coating is visible to the naked eye and exceeds 70% by weight via lab testing for accurate classification
• Provide detailed material composition certificates to avoid reclassification to Chapter 39 for plastic-dominated products
• Ensure invoice specifies 'coated textile fabric' not 'plastic sheet' to prevent customs disputes
