A rubberized textile blanket designed specifically for offset lithographic printers, featuring a compressible rubber layer bonded to a polyester fabric base. It transfers ink from the plate to the printing substrate and falls under HTS 5911.10.10.00 as a printer's rubberized blanket for technical printing use. The visible rubber coating on the textile fabric meets chapter requirements for heading 59.

Import Tips

Verify blanket dimensions and rubber thickness meet printer compatibility specs; provide technical datasheets showing rubberized textile construction to avoid reclassification

Include mill test certificates confirming rubber content and fabric base; common pitfall is mislabeling as plain rubber sheets (chapter 40)

Ensure packaging protects against compression damage; declare exact weight per m² if over 1500 g/m² to confirm textile predominance
