Import Tips

Verify rubber content and weight per m² (under 1,500 g/m²) with lab tests to confirm classification under 5906

Provide mill test certificates showing cotton base and rubber impregnation visible to the naked eye

Avoid misclassification as chapter 40 by ensuring textile is not merely reinforcing rubber sheets
