Import Tips
• Document backing process to prove it's a textile fabric, not a plastic laminate which might shift to 5903
• Avoid selling as finished goods; import as fabric to stay in 5906—finished tablecloths may go to 6302
• Test for rubber content visibility; customs often examines samples for naked-eye coating requirement
