Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain supplier certification that fabric was machine-knit and pre-coated/laminated prior to cutting to prevent misclassification

Avoid common pitfall of incomplete invoices; specify coating type (rubber vs plastics) and fiber percentage explicitly

Test for average stitches per cm if questioned, as low density might challenge 'knitted' status
