Import Tips
• Verify lamination visibility with naked eye and document weight per m² to confirm not excluded under 5903 note exceptions
• Provide lab tests showing plastic layer not fully embedding textile to avoid reclassification to chapter 39
• Label fiber content accurately, disclosing plastic lamination percentage for CBP scrutiny
