Import Tips
• Verify the fabric meets note 9 to section XI criteria for laminated fabrics, providing lab tests showing plastic layer visibility with naked eye
• Include detailed invoices specifying man-made fiber content (e.g
• 100% polyester base) and lamination process to avoid reclassification to chapter 39
