Import Tips
• Document the knitted construction and full coating process to distinguish from non-knitted Chapter 62 equivalents
• Ensure no underlying fabric visibility under magnification to prevent disputes over obscuration requirement
• Label fiber content based on underlying knit, not coating material, per HTS rules
