Import Tips
• Submit technical specs detailing PU lamination on pre-knit cotton to confirm 'preexisting machine knit fabric' requirement
• Classify under 631 restraints; track quota availability via OTEXA for man-made fiber coated imports
• Avoid misdeclaration as non-coated by providing coating thickness and impregnation evidence
