Import Tips
• Verify the knit fabric is pre-existing machine-made and properly impregnated/coated with rubber or plastics to meet 6116.10.4820 criteria
• Include lab test reports confirming coating composition and man-made fiber content to avoid reclassification
• Watch for fourchettes; their presence shifts to other subheadings under 6116.10
