Import Tips
• Verify the coating completely obscures the fabric via cross-section analysis to confirm classification under 6210.50.35.00
• Provide lab test reports on plastic/rubber coating weight and composition during customs entry to avoid reclassification
• Label as 'women's' based on right-over-left closure or cut; ensure no pockets below waist to avoid 6204 conflicts
