Import Tips
• Label fiber content accurately (cotton >50% by weight) and document rubber as coating, not embedding
• Conduct bend test (around 7mm cylinder) to differentiate from plastic-laminated fabrics in 5903
• Check for child safety compliance; rubberized bib fabrics may need CPSIA testing for phthalates
