Import Tips
• Verify the fabric coating meets heading 5903 specifications with lab tests; polyurethane must be a surface layer, not integral
• Include detailed fabric composition and coating weight in commercial invoice to prevent reclassification to uncoated knits
• Ensure garment closure is right-over-left for women's classification; document with photos if ambiguous
