Import Tips
• Conduct independent weight and composition analysis to meet 5906 criteria and avoid disputes over textile percentage
• Include technical datasheets showing rubber impregnation visible to naked eye per chapter notes
• Label rolls clearly as 'rubberized textile fabric' to distinguish from uncoated polyester under heading 5407
