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
