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
