Import Tips

Verify the rubber/plastics weight exceeds 70% via lab testing; retain certificates for CBP review to avoid reclassification

Confirm coating is visible to the naked eye and fabric bends around 7mm cylinder without fracturing, per heading 5903/5906 exclusions

Declare as finished fabric, not reinforced plastic sheeting; common pitfall is mislabeling as Chapter 39 product
