Import Tips
• Document rubber lamination process and visibility test (bend around 7mm cylinder without fracturing) to confirm 5906 applicability
• Label fiber content accurately as over 50% man-made textiles if weight exceeds certain thresholds per note
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial reinforcement use, which could trigger Chapter 40 reclassification
