Import Tips
• Verify the textile fabric is the essential character with visible lining; provide lab tests if coating weight exceeds 50% to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed invoices specifying textile composition, lining material, and end-use to prevent misclassification as plastic hose (Chapter 39)
• Ensure marking complies with FTC fiber content rules for textile portions and check for REACH compliance if importing from EU sources
