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
