Import Tips
• Verify the rubber/plastics content exceeds 70% by weight via lab testing for accurate classification; provide coating visibility documentation to avoid reclassification to chapters 50-55
• Declare exact weight per m² if over 1500 g/m² to confirm textile dominance
• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as uncoated knitted fabric
