Import Tips
• Verify the plastic coating is visible to the naked eye and the fabric remains flexible per chapter notes to avoid reclassification to chapter 39
• Provide lab test reports confirming weight per m² and coating composition, as 'other' subheading requires detailed documentation
• Label products clearly with fiber content and plastic type to prevent delays in CBP examination
