Import Tips

Verify the fabric's weight is under 1,500 g/m² and rubber content allows textile dominance per Chapter 59 notes to avoid reclassification

Provide lab test reports confirming knitted structure, man-made fiber composition, and visible rubber impregnation for customs clearance

Ensure invoice details specify 'knitted or crocheted' and end-use to prevent misclassification as woven under 5906.91.10
