Import Tips
• Verify weight per m² is ≤1500 g/m² and textile >50% to qualify under 5906; provide lab tests if challenged
• Ensure rubber treatment is visible naked eye; document not for tire reinforcement (5902) or cellular rubber plates (Ch.40)
• Label fiber content accurately; common pitfall is misclassifying as uncoated nylon (Ch.54)
