Import Tips
• Test for zero rubber thread content; presence reclassifies to 6002.90.30, potentially higher duties
• Use ISO-certified labs for fiber analysis; discrepancies lead to penalties on narrow fabric imports
• Package in bulk rolls, not consumer-ready; retail packaging may imply Chapter 63 articles
