Import Tips & Compliance

Document weight per m² to confirm textile >50% if over 1500 g/m², distinguishing from Chapter 40 rubber products

Provide cross-section samples or photos showing visible textile braiding to support classification over plastic alternatives

Watch for anti-dumping duties on Asian-sourced nylon hoses; use COO certificates for preferential tariff treatment
