Import Tips

Verify the fabric is indeed coated per heading 5903 (e.g

polyurethane coating) via lab testing to confirm classification

Include detailed fabric composition and coating specs in commercial invoice to avoid reclassification to basic apparel headings

Check for REACH compliance if importing from EU sources, as coated fabrics often contain PFAS chemicals
