Import Tips
• Verify the outer surface is fully coated with rubber/plastics obscuring the fabric via lab testing for customs compliance
• Provide Chapter 59 fabric certificates and coating specs to avoid reclassification to heading 6114
• Check for complete obscuration; partial coatings may shift to 6115 or 6210
