Import Tips
• Obtain lab tests confirming nitrile coating application on pre-knit fabric to substantiate classification during CBP review
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as direct-knit; include sewing pattern diagrams in entry docs
• Check for REACH compliance if sourced from EU, as nitrile may involve restricted chemicals
