Import Tips
• Specify 'lining fabric' in invoices to prevent confusion with outerwear in 6210 which has different duties
• Rubber must not make it unbendable around 7mm cylinder, or it risks Chapter 39 reclassification
• Use NAFTA/USMCA certs if applicable for duty-free entry on qualifying cotton rubberized imports
