Import Tips

• Verify the plastic coating completely obscures the fabric via cross-section testing to confirm 5903 fabric classification and avoid reclassification

• Provide lab test reports certifying rubber/plastics material and obscuration; declare accurately to prevent penalties for undervaluation

• Check for Country of Origin marking visibility through coating; common pitfall is shipment delays from incomplete documentation
