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
