Import Tips
• Include cross-section photos showing rubber visibility to distinguish from invisible treatments excluded by chapter notes
• Certify man-made fiber dominance and knitted construction via weave analysis to stay in 5906.91.25
• Watch for set sales with rubber sheets, as combined products may shift to Chapter 40 if textile is secondary
